Description

I could not find anything about the barge apart from it's name Pallieter and the fact it was built in 1910. I left the lads in the rowing boat in the picture because I thought they added a bit more intrest. Thank you for looking any comments of suggestions always welcome. **Best Viewed Full Size**

Nice capture and I agree the row boat looks like it is tring to tow the barge. Well the only thing I can add to the barge is it is a 'sail barge', you can tell that by the weighted mast, they have the weight on to assist in hoisting it upright. I believe they were once a common sight on the Thames. If you search for the name 'Pallieter' it refers to a dredger of that name in Belgium. You don't say where you are David so I am guessing the Thames somewhere. It would be interesting to find out a little more about this old barge. I have just spent about 15 mins on google and yahoo but have not dredged anything up(pun). Excellent subject!! Bravo!!!!!
