Chuck,
There are still a few operating commercially like the one shown below. Most
of the boat is given over to cargo under the tarpaulin section, part of
which can be seen here. Then the engine with doors open to assist cooling on
this particularly hot day and finally the living quarters consisting of
bunks and a galley. The vast majority are refurbished and privately owned or
for holiday hire. They are fitted out from stem to stern with all mod cons
apart from the relatively small engine section. Many are over 60ft long.
