UK - Malden - Hythe Quay

Maldon is a town on the Blackwater estuary in Essex, UK. It is the seat of the Maldon district and starting point of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation. Maldon's Hythe Quay is resident to a number of Thames Sailing Barges, these are among the last cargo vessels in the world still operating under sail, albeit now used in the spheres of education and leisure. Some ten to fifteen of the surviving fleet count Maldon as their home port, and many others are regular visitors alongside at the Quay.
