Barge ‘Omke Willem’ found in reeds near Eernewoude

19 January 2024

Used for cane cutting in Eernewoude et al for years but unemployed for a while.

Discovered by chance by Jos de vries, one of our skippers, who accidentally took a wrong turn with his sloop and came across these prams hidden in the reeds. It turned out there were two of them. 

We soon traced the owner and a deal was quickly struck.
The two prams were picked up by a pusher and pulled onto dry land in Leeuwarden at Scheepsbouw Kroes, where the pram will be fully restored.


Proud of our partners
