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.”
