The Lynher River Barge CIC, is a new charitable company formed to restore and operate the Lynher Barge on the Plymouth Waterways. Please visit and share their new website www.tamarbarge.org.uk which tells the history of this iconic workboat and the plans for her future. The Lynher of Cremyll will become a primary educational platform operating on the Rivers and in the Plymouth Sound.

She is kept going by donations and those who regularly volunteer to help complete this challenging restoration. “What motivates us in this formidible project, is the magnificent heritage the barge represents and the adventurous educational opportunitites she promises to a new generation,” says Barbara Bridgman for the charity.
