The one in this shot might qualify as a barge as it has a wooden hull. It
was under tow for a refit as a pleasure craft and I managed 30 seconds
conversation with the guy on the rudder. I commented that it was going to
take a bit of renovating and he said that it was "the last one made.
Aberystwyth". I took that to be where it was made not the name of the barge.

I think that this one is still hauling goods:
