Man planting Spartina grass

This image was found at the Environment Agency's Scott's Float. It show a man planting Spartina grass to stabilise the mud. The date was a guess! Does anyone know the name of the barge?

I believe it was a sprit sail barge called the Orient. I remember Mr Goddard telling a visitor, who was interested in its history back in the late 50's. It was eventually burnt (in late 1950's), probably Bonfire night which I remember well.
