Shamrock berthed at Cotehele Quay, on the Cotehele Estate in Cornwall
A Tamar barge is a masted sailing vessel, designed for carrying cargo along the River Tamar [1] Cornwall .
The Tamar barge can be either a single or double masted vessel. It can carry up to 32 tonnes. Tamar barges were manufactured in the 19th century in the Tamar Valley by boatbuilders such as James Goss of Calstock , Frederick Hawke of Stonehouse , Plymouth and David Banks of Queen Anne’s Battery in Sutton Harbour, Plymouth .[citation needed
There are only two surviving Tamar barges, both have been almost completely restored. Normally one, Shamrock , is open to visitors at Cotehele Quay[2] Lynher , is privately owned and moored at Cremyll .
Shamrock is currently undergoing extensive repairs due to lack of maintenance which had led to mould and rot spreading throughout the timbers. The National Trust has launched a fundraising campaign to pay for the repairs to the historic vessel.[3]
