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. http://www.geebeephoto.com/2005/05256.htm I think that this one is still hauling goods: http://www.geebeephoto.com/2005/05234.htm --Graham
