Thames barges at Mortlake, London, c1860-c1887. Two Thames barges are beached near the Ship Inn, Mortlake. These flat bottomed sailing boats off-loaded from sea-going vessels in the Port of London and carried cargoes up and down the Thames. The River at this point is still tidal. This section has since been embanked to control its flow.
