For those who love the East Coast, this little BBC documentary made in the late 60s is a must. The first half is about a man, a boy, and a dog working the last sailing sprit barge in the UK out of London and up the east coast.
Later in the film she works her way up the Orwell to Pin Mill, where the skipper's daughter is about to get married. Mooring at the hard, walking up through the cottages, seeing the abandoned flour mill, wedding celebrations at the Butt & Oyster, Morris dancing -- it's all there, and it's all as it really was. This is no re-enactment -- it's all genuine.
In my view, an absolute must for AR fans.
