A rare opportunity to own a beautiful piece of Dutch maritime history, currently occupying an exceptional mooring at Imperial Wharf on the River Thames. De Twee Gezusters, meaning The Two Sisters, is a historic Dutch Sk?tsje barge built in Holland in 1921. Her name refers to two mermaid sisters, reflected in a charming carving on board. Originally built to transport tulips along the Dutch canals, she was converted in the 1950s before sailing across the Channel to England in the 1970s. For many years, De Twee Gezusters was moored in Aldeburgh, Suffolk, where she was used as a musician s practice space and occasionally motored along the River Alde. Around ten years ago, she journeyed around the coast and up the Thames to her current home at Imperial Wharf. She now occupies a wonderful position at the end of the pier, enjoying open views and beautiful sunrises and sunsets over the water. For the past decade, the barge has been used as a writing studio, occasional shoot location and peacef
