Good scan job. This is another of your sailing barges judging by
its name?

The sailing barges have a lot of different types. This is an open
sailing barge (zeil praam), used to transport goods.A skutsje has a
more rounded bouw and stern.

Thank you. I think you're saying I pretty much have it right. Interesting
bit of info to me, never heard of these things before. I'm in the so-
called Great Lakes State of Michigan, and our motto is Water-Winter
Wonderland alluding to the many, many inland lakes, rivers, and streams
and many winter sports interests, and we certainly have our share of sail
and powered craft, including barges, but the only kind I've personally
seen are more like the large coal or ore barges pushed by tugs on the
Detroit River, and even then, not often as I seldom go there.
