Volume Nine - Pre-Victorian to the present day - even more aspects - Severn Trows and Ketches at Penarth, Cardiff and Barry . . .

The trow 'Industry' - Trows were the workhorses of the Bristol Channel and Severn Sea with traditional ketch-rigging, bluff-bows, a square stern and an open hold which could be covered in canvas in choppy seas! Many thanks to Mr. Viv Head for the above info within his informative book 'Sailing Ships of the Bristol Channel.' [1381]
