History

Ironsides was built by Clarke & Stanfield, Grays, Essex in 1900 for the Associated Portland Cement and carried stone from Portland to London under sail alone. In 1928 she was sold to the London and Rochester Trading Company, who with 120 barges were the second largest barge owner in the country. Currently (2018) Ironsides is based in Faversham off the Swale estuary. She does passenger charters along the Thames Estuary and the London River from Aldeburgh in Suffolk to Whitstable on the North Kent Coast. She sails from Maldon, Pin Mill, Chatham and London.
