- Title:
- Bob Roberts. Thames, England, 1962
- Scope & Content:
- Bob Roberts, singer, on board a barge, The Dreadnought, ahead of a race. Location not known. Photograph by John Topham Ltd., Sidcup, Kent. Rear of photograph states "Last Skipper -- Penultimate race? Only remaining skipper of a working Thames sailing barge, Bob Roberts (55) of Pin Mill, Suffolk, is busy preparing for the annual sailing barge race on the Thames next week... But it will be something of a sad occasion for Bob. Firstly, because his own vessel, The Cambria is on the slipways at Greenhithe for a refit, and will miss the race -- and secondly, because, due to the ever-increasing cost of maintaining these outmoded craft, next year's race -- the centenary year -- may well be the last. Bob is pictured on board The Dreadnought, which he will captain in this year's race. After the race, this vessel, like all the others, will be laid up until next year. After that... who knows? 101374 op/cap: Piper 16/6/62."
