La Tulipe

The Tulipe is a replica of a Dutch tjalk barge. The Dutch ship with a French name is owned by an English couple.

The current owners are David and Carol Alder. The ship was built in 1921 in Groningen. They have traveled throughout Europe, starting in southern France in 2009 when they purchased the vessel, and then they moved north in 2011, making a stop in Strasbourg for the winter, before continuing via Paris to Bruges.
