The morning after the premiere the Thames sailing barge Blue Mermaid set sail along the southeast coast to host free film screenings in ten historic ports. Crewed by youth and adult trainees, on arrival to each harbour the ship transformed her cargo hold into a floating cinema, opening her hatches to welcome local audiences to see Wind, Tide & Oar. Those working in the project held Q&A session afterwards, offering a truly unique experience that immersed audiences in the elemental seafaring life.
