TALK 7: Barge Crowded Waters
Heritage Open Day: This talk by renowned local historian Dr. Robb Robinson, describes how Hull was the major hub connected to the network of rivers and canals across the country. The story of Humber keels, sloops, rivers, and canals: their crucial role in making Hull Yorkshire’s Maritime City. Good inland links are vital to a port. They provide the means of taking goods to and from the country’s interior. Amongst Hull’s greatest maritime assets over many centuries were its wealth of waterway connections with inland towns and growing industrial areas across Yorkshire and even much further afield by way of the network of rivers flowing into the Humber.
