- Through Barnabas the film brings to life the Cornish fishing industry in its heyday and the people who built and worked the boats. The recent major restoration of this historic vessel was filmed in the Penzance Dry Dock over a period of nine months. Now, once more, Barnabas embodies our maritime heritage and sails around the coast of Cornwall for present and future generations to enjoy.
Barnabas was built in 1881 in St Ives. She is a dipping lugger.
She is owned by The Cornish Maritime Trust, a charity which works to preserve Cornish maritime history. It produced this film about its flagship vessel, assisted by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
What are we if we are so preoccupied with making money and playing games and entertaining ourselves if we don’t have the aptitude to admire this craftsmanship. These are men who are worthy of much respect. And for those who have bothered to produce this excellent film which brings us pause as we wonder about these people from yesteryear, they also deserve much hearty praise. We say thank you and God bless you.
Nice to see the work done on Barnabus. I spent 19 years at Penrose Sailmakers in Falmouth. The round orange coloured makers badge stitched on near the tack on the foresail look to be the old type we used to use. The badge design was changed at the end of the 90s, so I think the sails shown at the beginning are the ones we made for old Barnabus in the early/mid 90s. It's awesome to see that she's been restored and preserved for another century or so.
Great video and a great story. I myself was a member of an association that had built a replica of a 17th century Scandinavian post yacht, and spent many happy hours crewing for our fare-paying passengers off Vaasa in Finland. She's a 12-metre, 12 tonne boat.
Anyway, Barnabas is a beauty and well worth all that work. Congratulations to all involved - well done!
That’s remarkable!
Respect for all builders!
What a beautiful boat!
These national treasures are priceless, worth the effort in rehab.
Even if you are done with the rehab ❤
They are rebuilding a beautiful, ancient instrument. Tuned by hand, so the Ocean can again play on it. I have no idea how all these angles once taken can practically be carved en route cutting the wood, and how those chaps are keeping track of all their marks and signs and wonders. I only like to call it wonderful. May Barnabas always cheerfully cut the waves under fair winds. Thankyou from Germany 🌻:).
Lovely sentiment !
As a time served shipwright it is wonderful to see the old skills still in use. Now retired I spend my time building model boats. Amongst my collection I have a “ St Ives Bay mackerel driver,” the Ebenezer, which sails like a dream despite not being able to dip the lug to tack.
Thank you for producing such a beautiful documentary of Barnabas. I have seen her on the high seas a number of times. Fairwinds.
Brilliant film! I was in Falmouth a few months back crewing a Bristol Pilot cutter that was built and worked from my little village of Pill, Somerset where the Bristol piloting started from.
Drinking around the pubs in Cornwall and speaking with the locals they really do have a love for these classic boats and the enthusiasm is off the scale.
Been there and done that!.. lol
Our Boys 92ck.. Essex Smack!..
Would love to sail down there and play with you Boys at the Falmouth Classics...
Excelent wooden work from this guys, greeting from Norway.
Great Video well made, showed the time and skills involved great storytelling. You could feel the history.
Loved this vlog, more heritage saved. Well done all. A beautiful boat
Beautiful boat beautiful film thankyou Marty Australia 😂😂
One man restored a 1910 woden ship on youtube the vlog is called "Sampson Boat Co" hundreds of chapters shows actual work not some exec members looking good for the camera. One man in
charge he is a shipbuilder and lots and lots of helpers. The ship is Tally Ho.
Leo and team are still restoring Tally Ho and getting very close to the finish line, a wonderful set of Videos. Great people wonderful skills a journey through time.
Wow simply wow, fantastic story, brilliant skills, top class documentary ❤.
Heb zelf de gelegenheid gehad om aan een houten Barkentijn te werken.
Deze was in zijn soort uniek.
Helaas gezonken en de middelen om weer opgeknapt te worden was er niet.
De Elisabeth Smit is wel een boot waar ik vaak aan terug denk.
Remenicances noemen de fransen het chique 🎉😊.
Wonderful documentary and commentary! Thanks so much for making it -- and of course for remaking Barnabas.
I watched a father and son restore an old wreck of a mackerel driver in the yard at the top of Galmpton Creek on the River Dart. It must have been around 1983 or 1984. Ralph was the father, Brian his son. Sadly I have forgotten their family name. All done with hand tools only.
Funny, I grew up in Maine and the old photos look like my family pictures
Ни одно дело в мире не делается с такой чистотой помыслов, как строительство парусного судна
What's interesting at 28:06 is that they have removed the metal pads from the G-clamps, and the ball end of the clamp screw sits in a depression in the wooden pad. Very clever. Otherwise you'd be trying to clamp up all the wooden pads at the same time as trying to stop them falling down between the clamps and the plank. If you're doing something in a hurry, everything needs to be located - there's no time for messing around! There's always so much to be learned seeing real experts at work.
Very impressive. I hate to think how much it cost!!
Were any of her original timbers re used, I wonder? It looked pretty much like a total new build to me.
This boat seems vaguely similar to "Tally Ho", though this boat seems more serviceable and more of a work boat than "Tally Ho". It was restored by an Englishman in Port Townsend, Washington, USA. "Tally Ho is much more a piece of fine furniture like wood work that I would be afraid of damaging. I take it that your boat is christened "Barnabas" ? More of a work boat?
Like the movie titanic with that boat sailing the ocean
magnifique /. naviguer sur de tels bateaux est meilleur que d'être cousin du roi , sourire,
Great Video….but tell me who plays this great music
From Joshua Slocum's book, 1892, 'Sailing Alone Around the World'. To quote, about the Spray, "Now, it is the law in Lloyd's that the Jane repaired all out of the old until she is entirely new is still the Jane".
First published 1900 ISBN 0-246-12207-2 Brilliant book, brilliant video; not a computer in sight.
THIS BOAT WILL SINK. A PRIEST WAS NEARBY😮
My surname is McNab, any relation to the writer and film maker I wonder?

Hardly a restoration or even a rebuild. Not a stick of the original boat remains in the boat. An excellent reproduction.
