Broker's Comments

This Dutch Kraak was built in 1879 at Van der Giessen in Capelle aan den IJssel. So it is 135 years old and was the oldest iron boat in the Netherlands. This was a unique sailing monument via the Dutch Ussel a barge maintained between Rotterdam and Alphen , A lovely vessel heaped with history which would make a fantastic home on the water.
