Reminder is one of seven Thames barges built between 1925 and 1930 for F W Horlock, Mistley.

History

In 1924 the Horlocks commissioned seven new steel Thames barges, of which Reminder was the fourth. Six of these ‘seven sisters’ are still afloat: Blue Mermaid was lost to a mine in World War 2. [2] They were built at Mistley.
