Truly exceptional Dutch Barge, Tjalk, at Poplar Marina, Canary Wharf, with a fully transferable, residential mooring. Built in Holland in 1915, Elsie May was originally used to transport potatoes along Dutch waterways and then converted into a houseboat. She was bought in December 2012 by her present owner, who then commissioned a complete refit and redesign costing almost £350,000. Her existing interior was completely removed so that her hull’s interior could be fully spray lined with closed-cell foam insulation to ensure the boat stays cool in the summer and is economical ... read more

This French and Peel Wide Beam barge/workboat represents a truly fantastic and very versatile craft.  Before I begin with my comments, after shooting the external video for this boat, the owner informed me that what I thought to be teak decks are actually laid with Iroko planks. Iroko is a hard wood timber used in boat building for centuries. It is known for its durability, high natural oil content and thus resistance to moisture. She has been fitted out by her current owner (who is a Master Mariner) with an array of electronics and equipment to make for a fantastic liveaboard, and/or ... read more
