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.

You're right Jeroen, I did not look at the details.

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.

Hello all,

the discussion about ship types and the names of the different traditional
flatbottemed vessels got me curious. A little search on the internet
learned that there is an organisation for the registration of these kind of
vessels. On their website you can find the names and pictures
(unfortunately in Dutch only and quite small picures) off the different
types.

Anyway if you're interested check: http://www.ssrp.nl/scheepstypen.asp?id=8
If you roll over the different types listed the corresponding picture
should appear on the right hand side...

Regards,

Jeroen

Too bad, as only the ignorant Bouler will be able to read it, not me.

If you have the time, Jeroen, I'd appreciate some selected translations
