50' Admiral's Barge/Pinnace for sale UK

Post by gondolier88 »

Check out this link ; http://www.apolloduck.com/feature.phtml?id=183242It would seem to be a rare example that has the original steel superstructure extant, and I'm fairly sure the skylight is original too, which would suggest it was an admiral's barge rather than a bog standard pinnace, which would make it a massive bargain, even in it's present condition, at £900! I thought at first they had missed a zero off.

Such a shame it has been forgotten about, but it would make the basis of a very fine restoration- the hulls on these things are bomb proof, though if damaged are extremely difficult to repair.

It even still has a funnel...

Anyone with £900??? ;)
