The Ouse reaches into the heart of Yorkshire from the Humber Estuary. Until the 1980s, loaded barges made the challenging journey from Hull to Selby, bearing bulk cargoes for the mills of the town. The bargees had to be tough and resourceful; physically strong enough to handle their craft, wise enough to combat the rivers shifting currents and savvy enough to deal with those supplying short measure. Laurie Dews of Selby worked the Ouse from 1937 to 1987, and is now the only bargeman remaining with firsthand experience of a lost way of life. In this book, "River Ouse Bargeman," Laurie's words of wit and wisdom give a skippers eye view of a barge loaded to the gunwales fighting upstream, unloading at the mill and drifting back with the tide. Laurie spins many a yarn about a bargeman's social life, too. His firsthand account includes the mysterious river crafts of singling out and penning up, the tricks and tell tales to show where the ever-shifting river channel lay and the camaraderie of life in the close-knit watery world. In this book, alongside Laurie's account, there is a factual commentary, illustrated by many images from Laurie's collection dating back over a century, and extracts from official documents and maps.

George Winn first went afloat as third hand on a diminutive, well-worn and humble river barge, when just eight years of age. His maritime prowess blossomed and, after serving as mate then skipper aboard the craft of Kentish brick and cement maker Smeed Dean, he progressed to command much larger sailing barges working coastwise around the south-east of England and to the Continent. Always a self-reliant seafarer, he eventually decided to work for himself, rather than line the pockets of others; in other words 'to steer his own ship'. This was a dream fulfilled when he became master and owner of the Rye ketch barge Diana, one of the largest of her type, engaged in the Channel trades.
