Description
The Cambria Story traces, the early days of Cambria, when she was just an ordinary working craft sailing to near Continental ports, to the years after World War II when she was the very last British coastal vessel trading under sail. The Cambria Story brings the barges past to life while she sails on into a new era. The Cambria Story by Robert Simper, is written in conjunction with the Cambria Trust. The book highlights the high and low points of the Cambria's journey through time, from construction, launch, active years, disrepair and rebuilding. Simper expertly guides you through this fascinating history of the once called 'celebrity barge', from 1906, when she was first launched, to 2011 when she was totally rebuilt and relaunched again.
