Welcome to
THE BARGE MEN website

Were your ancestors associated with Thames
Sailing Barges or lighters,
Watermen and Lightermen or the London Docks? We have a large
number of family names, sailing barge names and sailing barge histories
already logged but please keep watching this page for details
of our website dedicated to researching their family
histories.
Our site is dedicated to researching the
history of Thames sailing barges
and barge builders and the
watermen and lightermen who worked on
the wharves and docks along the river and travelled the Thames
from Middlesex, Kent, Surrey and Essex to London. Links can be found to other river sites.
We've extended our family
history research to the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk and
are collating information about local wherries, wherrymen and
their families.
