barge Explanation: Le klipperaak est un bateau d'origine hollandaise intermédiaire entre le klipper dont il a l'avant tulipé, et le tjalk, dont il a l'arrière très formé. Comme le klipper, le klipperaak peut être gréé et aller en mer. Commentaire: il s'agit donc d'une sorte de péniche, ou plus exactement d'une gabare (terme qui s'applique également à des bateaux fluviaux ou de haute mer: voir Wikipedia).

fish tank/boat with a fish well Explanation: not an ornamental tank but a boat fitted with a special tank in which live fish can be kept, an alternative to refrigeration, the Dutch had fishing fleets permanently at sea with these kinds of boats bringing the catch home (apparently they were doing it in the middle ages in the north sea) Perhaps "fish barge" is more adapted to your context -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2009-03-25 09:27:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- looking at pictures of a klipperaak it certainly resembles what we would call a barge or a lighter, hmmm... Lighter A boat, usu. a flat-bottomed barge, used for transferring or transporting goods from a ship to a wharf or another ship. LME. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 33 mins (2009-03-25 09:28:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In light of the above, I think "fish lighter" may be more precise however it does not get any Ghits (which isn't a surprise) |
