There are a staggering 93,000km of navigable waterways in Russia. In 2012 Russia opened its inland waterways to foreign-flagged pleasure craft. In 2013 Australian yacht “Tainui” successfully completed the 3,000 mile voyage through central Russia from the White Sea down the Volga River to the Black Sea. Tainui’s crew were John Vallentine (AUS) and Maxine Maters (NL). John wrote a blog which was awarded with the CA’s 2014 Lacey Trophy which became the basis for a now fairly useless cruising guide published in 2016, he also won the OCC’s 2015 Vasey Vase for this “voyage of an unusual or exploratory nature”.

Our final talk of the Winter Warmer season is by Rob Smith. With so many ships visiting London, it is hardly surprising that there have been thousands of shipwrecks in the Thames. This talk tells the story of 12 ships that have sunk in the Thames and Medway, from a Roman cargo ship, to a mysterious sinking in the Cold War. Rob will show you pictures and maps to accompany the talk, and he will give you some suggestions of places to visit to find out more about ships like the 17th century ship whose sinking shocked Samuel Pepys, or the ship full of explosives that still sits at the bottom of the Thames Estuary.
