| Thames sailing barge 'Carina.'
I can't tell if this is a steel hull but if so, it's possibly a sister ship to 'Decima,' which still sails out of Heybridge Basin, Essex. Both barges were built by F.G.Fay & Co. of Southampton, part of an order for 20 barges for E.J.& W. Goldsmith, of Grays, Essex - the 'Pickfords of the London river.'

Proper name of builder more likely to be J.G. Fay & Co., Northam, Southampton. Later became part of Camper & Nicholsons. Better known as yacht builders. Site later known as Shamrock Quay. |

Everything is consistent with the location given by Dave Brunt which is looking south east towards Burntwick Island from above Kethole Reach on the River Medway. |
