Listing Barge...a 'ship' without a name. by ajisaac

Listing Barge...a 'ship' without a name.

Today the rain abated so I was able to take a walk along the Kennet and Avon Canal near Semington.

There are barges at different stages of life...this one is older and has a slight list to it.

Most of the barges have names but I couldn't find one on its hull.

I decided to wrap it in 'plastic' to bring out the rust texture and different colours.
It looks like it has done plenty of miles along many a canal in it's day. Such an interesting shot...has me wondering if anyone ever attends it? Or has it just been left as is, with the bikes & all sorts of other stuff that's been left on it. Love the 'plastic' you've wrapped it in :)

@leggzy Thanks for your comments-glad you love the'plastic wrap'. I think this is still being used but probably as a DIY getaway weekends & bank holidays. (It is definitely not one of the boats you can hire!!!)
