RR2 Thistle

RR2 Thistle RR2 Thistle built in 1887 was due to be broken up, so a group of enthusiasts decided to save her. On RR2 Thistle was going to be broken up. Now the fun begins.

She had sadly been neglected and appeared to be beyond salvage, however a group of enthusiasts and friends decided to save her. She was towed up to Iron Wharf Boatyard on a night-time high tide, and nestled quietly in amongst the other historic barges, safe and ready for her new future. Her four owners have incredible skills and experience to get her seaworthy again, so with fund raising and perso

nal investment and time we can breath life back into Thi

She is the last of two remaining Rochester Bawleys and has had an incredible working and racing life. Our goal is to restore her and fish and race her again. Her minimal carbon footprint when fishing using traditional methods we hope will encourage others to join the eco-aquaculture farming. Thistle-do-it !
