Living Afloat

Living Afloat gives you free ideas on what you need to know about barges, how to buy them, how to convert them, etc..

Speranza

The Speranza is a spits barge. She was shortened by the owner in the summer of 2006. I must say a remarkable job!

The Speranza as she was looking in November 2004

The speranza seen in June 2006, already missing a big piece of her sides and bow

This was once the front peak

A view from the front peak and cargo hold

Another piece of the side has been cut, but is still in place

The result: a shorter boat
