More about this scene
These ships are topsail schooners and what might be an inside or outside Tamar barge at Calstock, 17 miles up-river from the sea. This small but busy inland port was heavily used by the local mining and quarrying industries. The inside barges, or Tamar sloops, carried cargoes between the various wharves and landing stages along the river; the outside barges, which were bigger and carried a topsail, were capable of undertaking coastal work between Plymouth and Falmouth and the Channel Islands.
