River Journeys with Conrad Humphreys - River Tamar

Описание: International yachtsman Conrad Humphreys explores the rivers of Devon and Salcombe estuary in his one-of-a-kind lugger, Bounty’s End. He meets up with a myriad of interesting people along the way to talk about history of the rivers and the sailing boats that have shaped the local area.

"Sailing a traditional boat on these rivers has really helped me to understand just how much our waterways have shaped our history. It’s all too easy to think about the big round the world exploratory voyages that Captain James Cook and Robert Fitzroy undertook, but around the UK every river, estuary and harbour has made its own unique contribution to our prosperity, our way of life and our understanding of the world."

Episode 4: River Tamar
Conrad explores the River Tamar in his wooden lugger, Bounty. Historian, Dan Snow joins him to look around Drake's Island, before a quick stop at Royal William Yard. Further up the River he learns about the copper trade and the rich mining history of the Tamar Valley.
