Thanks for your starred viqit Roger.

Best regards from Brittany, Eddie.

This vessel was actually built as a steam tug at Shoreham, and was launched in 1919, She was one of six built there - a further six being built at three other yards. All their names began with Crete-. She was the last to sail, being used to carry newspapers between Liverpool and the Isle of Man in the 1930s. Her engines were taken out in 1936, and she was subsequently sold to a cattle feed company at Drogheda. She was towed to Carlingford in 1985.

I understand that immediately in front of her lies the much larger concrete barge, Cretefield - which was built locally - at Warrenpoint, along with three others. Two of these, the Cretefarm and the Creteforge, joined Stockton-built Cretejetty to perform a similar role as harbour protection in Spain in the 1930s. Cretefield spent most of her life afloat off Waterford as a floating jetty.

The barge is a floating music venue - see: http://lexcelsior.fr/

I'm very intersted about french waterways, mainly about Canal du Nord beacuse soon it will have "brother" Seine-Nord Canal next to it.
