Also this week has seen the arrival of a new cargo hatch cover which definitely looks smart. We now need a large welcome mat to try and keep it that way.
This blog is all about the Tamar sailing barge Shamrock. She has been around since 1899 and still going strong.

New and old enhancments.
Visitors to Shamrock often express wonder at how the crew managed to live in the cramped forward cabin with its lack of facilities. To try and add to the experience and give visitors more of an idea of what it would have been like, Shaune has now installed an old, small wood burning stove. That, along with a large kettle, a few pans and some metal plates gives the impression that the cabin could be lived in. Lighting the stove would cause a bit of a problem though as there is no flue. (A bit of artistic licence). Not that we have any intentions of doing this.
