The restored Tamar barge called the Shamrock at Cotehele is a 57ft ketch-rigged vessel built in around 1899. It carried various cargoes on the river and also worked as a diving tender and salvage barge. In 1974 it was acquired by The National Trust and today she is co-owned by the National Maritime Museum.
