KORNELISKE YKES II
sails out of Queenborough, England,
at the mouth of the River Thames
on a historic journey
with an environmental mission.
She’s a newly built reproduction
of the type of eel barges
that commonly sailed
between Holland and England
from the 17th century until
the last one left London
about 80 years ago.
The masts on the eel barges
are placed farther forward
than on most other Dutch barges
to allow room for the “wet hold.”
