A Dutch barge was originally used to carry up cargo in the Netherlands. These boats had a flat bottom, were wood and powerboats. Over time, these boats were converted in residential or pleasure boats.Most of the existing Dutch barges are made of steel or iron and with diesel engines.
These types of boats have between 15 meters and 40 meters in length. Dutch barge was designed with flat bottom so these models are lighter than the Humber barge.
The Dutch barge is a boat created for the purpose of loading; however, nowadays, many of them are used as places to live.These types of boats have different sizes but they are famous and recognized by their cruiser stern and vertical stem.
