Thames Lightermen

In this sixth episode of NarrowBoat Videos we explore the archive for material covering the Thames Lightermen. For hundreds of years these watermen have used the river's ebb and flow to carry produce to and from sea going craft and in doing so formed a vital link to Britain's inland waterways at Limehouse and Brentford.

The videos featured in this episode include:
The Weekend Millionaires
The Apprenticed Lighterman
Changes in Thames Transport 1915 to today
The Last of the Watermen
