Hi all, I have been interested to read your comments from last year. I also have a lighter/dumb barge. She was originally called 183A and is an ex MOD ammunition barge with flood gates to scuttle her if there ever was an explosion. She spent her working life moored in the River Tamar off of Devonport Dockyard. I have tried looking up all the vessels in The National Museum of Royal Navy naval-history.net on lighters and barges and was disappointed to only find one vessel listed in that category for Plymouth! Anyone else had any further luck since this thread started last year? I will be pleased to make contact with other barge owners, like myself.
Sally.
