Sailing barge Marjorie is a 73 gross ton wooden spritsail sailing barge, built by R. & W. Paul Ltd. at Ipswich, Suffolk, England in 1902 for their own account.^[1] She was used to carry grain and other cargoes on the River Thames, its estuary and to coastal ports.^[2]

In 1960, after fifty two years of trading under sail for the same owner, Marjorie was retired and then sold for ongoing operation as a historic vessel, classed as a yacht. She remains active as at 2025.^[1]
