This is a view from her port quarter. We love our Dutch Barge home - a spritely lady, born in 1906. This photo was taken on her moorings in Holland before she sailed to Woodbridge.
A view of the Deben downriver, taken from the foredeck. The roof in the right foreground is in a boatyard and further down the river are the masts in a yacht marina. The river sweeps round to the right at the treeline in the distance.
Looking upriver from the riverside footpath our Dutch Barge home is now floating at her mooring on a moderate full tide. Beyond her at their moorings are a Catamaran, yachts, barges and a Trawler. On the left the footpath continues upriver past the trees on the left around the boatyard. In the distance are the treelined banks below Sutton Hoo National Trust, site of an ancient ship burial ground.
Standing on the foredeck looking back at the wheelhouse and across the river. The boat davit and detachable chimney from the wood burning stove in the saloon can be seen on the left in front of the wheelhouse. Looking at all the photos on this page note the stunning views in every direction (even the boatyard is surrounded by trees!) When the tide is out the waterside is a feeding ground for many wading and mud feeding birds - an ideal ornithologists' observation site - ignored by all the birds.
Finally, on the outside, the stern showing the stern anchor, winch, one of the seats and the catamaran moored alongside. This picture taken looking downriver from the jetty alongside the slipway showing the trees around the boatyard in the right hand background. Running beyond on the other side of the barge and wooden fence from left to right past the boatyard is the riverside footpath (also used by cyclists) We think you will agree that our Dutch Barge home is now in a beautiful location.
