This boat is near me in East London. Big old riveted unpowered barge. Person on it says its from the Manchester Ship Canal but I think its a Regents Canal barge.

Stern is flat but with a swim similar to a thames sailing barge.

Dimensions are approx 72x14ft as it goes through Regents canal locks

Google reveals it was on Gumtree for £30k (optimistic !!) But ad has been removed.
