The Blue Mermaid Dance

Please join us for a very special evening aboard a very special ship!

The Blue Mermaid is a replica of a famous Thames Barge of the same name built in 1930 but lost to a mine in World War Two.  She was constructed between 2015 and 2019 and belongs to the charity Sea Change Sailing Trust which provides action-centred learning and seamanship training for young people and vulnerable adults.
