They are fitted out from stem to stern with all mod cons apart from the relatively small engine section. Many are 60-70ft long. There are still a few operating commercially like the one shown below. Most of the boat is given over to cargo under the tarpaulin section, part of which can be seen here. Then the engine with doors open to assist cooling on this particularly hot day and finally the living quarters consisting of bunks and a galley. http://www.geebeephoto.com/2005/05234.htm --Graham ========================================================= To Unsubscribe: Send email to leica-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with 'unsubscribe' in the Subject field.
