It's just before dawn and he's already on the water. The city behind him is still mostly dark,

smoke beginning to rise from the chimneys, the smell of the river thick and cold around him.

He knows this stretch of the Thames the way you know your own house in the dark, every current, every

sandbar, every landing stair from Westminster to Gravesend, he doesn't even need to think about it.

His arms are already moving. In Tudor London, the Thames is not a scenic backdrop. It is the

main road, and he owns it. Before decent street paving, before coaches, before anything resembling a

reliable overland route through the chaos of London's alleys and markets, if you needed to get

somewhere, you got in a boat. Merchants, lawyers, courtiers, theater lovers, criminals on their way to trial,

queens on their way to palaces. They all needed him, and he had opinions about

all of them. He is a Thames waterman, and he is one of the most important people in Tudor London

that history has almost entirely forgotten. Get comfy, settle in my friend today. We are going

to talk about the Waterman in Tudor London.

Hey friend, welcome back to the Renaissance English History podcast.
