hierarchical_section_title: Shamrock, Tamar Barge
caption_attribution_description: English: The Shamrock, a sailing barge built in 1899 that transported freight from Plymouth up the Tamar and also to nearby ports. She was laid up in a near-derelict state in 1973 and bought by the National Trust in 1975, towed to Cotehele Quay where she was restored and where she is currently on display.
context_page_description: The Shamrock is one of the last Tamar Barges left, the other being the Lynher. It was designed to carry cargo, such as limestone and coal, up and down the tidal River Tamar. The Shamrock had a sail plan of a sloop, however during a renovation the sail plan was changed to a Ketch and the length was increased. This increased the profitability of the ship, this ability allowed the Shamrock to be one of the last Tamar Barges to be worked on the river, before it was adopted and renovated by the National Trust. Currently it is berthed at Cotehele Quay.
