Maldon is known throughout the country and in many parts of the world as the foremost modern-day centre for Thames sailing barges. The badge of Maldon District itself is a Thames sailing barge. These are among the last cargo vessels in the world still operating under sail, albeit now used in the spheres of education and leisure. Some ten to fifteen of the surviving fleet count Maldon as their home port, and many others are regular visitors alongside at the Hythe quay.

Many railroad box cars were sunk as reefs in the 1980s. The railroads had a surplus of them and dontated many to the "cause". They were loaded onto barges that could slide them off at the Port of Pensacola and towed to the reef site. This is a photo of Brown Marine's harbor tug the "Emma Brown", ex YTM 151, towing the barge to the drop site off in the Gulf of Mexico south of Destin, Florida.
