THE VESSEL
A voyage through time with MAY
The Thames Sailing Barge May was built in 1891 at Gas House Creek, Harwich.
​
Designed and Built by J&H Cann
​
SB MAY is the oldest surviving Essex Thames Sailing Barge
CAN YOU HELP ?
MAY was 130 years old the day we moved her from Pin Mill to St. Osyth ready for her next chapter to begin.
​
As you can imagine, in those years she has built up a large collection of archive material collected by her previous owners. However there are many gaps and we are always keen to hear from you if you have a connection to MAY, her Owners or the mills and docks she visited regularly.
​
We are also planning a number of heritage open days to share the information with you. If you would like further details it would great to hear from you.
