Stumpy Barge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Thames sailing barge with no topsail - or top mast sailing stumpy-rigged. It enabled the barge to pass under London's bridges, get in close to shore for offloading goods and get far up river. Thames Sailing Barges were used for lighterage until 1970.
