Historic Péniche from 1922 for Sale – Authentic Steel River Ship with Rich Family History This characterful péniche, built in 1922 at the renowned shipyard Langerbrugge on the Leie, presents a unique opportunity for enthusiasts of historical vessels. Measuring 14.13 meters in length and 4.37 meters in width, this steel river ship is a tangible piece of Belgian maritime heritage. The hull is constructed from riveted steel, a building technique typical of the early 20th century. The flat bottom and tiller steering make the ship suitable for leisurely cruises on inland waters. Technical Specifications and Equipment The vessel is equipped with an inboard Peugeot diesel engine, type Indenor. This engine is operational and powered by a 12V electrical system. Steering is done from inside using a tiller, and the ship features a single rudder. For anchoring activities, there is a manual anchor windlass with an anchor attached to a chain. On deck, various equipment pieces are available, including fenders, lines, a swim ladder, and a guardrail. For safety, an electric bilge pump is installed. The boat is registered under a Belgian flag and VAT has been paid. Documentation such as the "certificat de sondage" from 2017 and historical construction and maintenance records are accessible. Interior and Living Comfort The interior space is functionally arranged and accommodates four people, with two fixed sleeping berths and two additional sleeping spaces. The accommodation comprises a salon with an indoor steering position, a separate bedroom, a bathroom with shower and hot water, and a fully equipped kitchen. The kitchen features a stove, microwave, refrigerator (220V/gas), and a gas-fired water heater. The dining area offers ample space for cozy onboard meals. Historical Value and Family Story In possession of the same family since 1976, this péniche has served as a holiday home, houseboat, and recreational vessel. Cherished by four generations for nearly five decades, the ship boasts a richly documented history. A photo dossier of the original construction, as well as reports on significant maintenance and restoration work, are available. The last time the ship was taken out of the water for maintenance and antifouling was in 2017. The boat has mainly been used on inland waters for various purposes such as weekend stays, holidays, and day trips. The current owner describes the ship as a place full of memories, where summers were spent with family and friends, and where the rhythm of the water dictated the pace of life.
