A Vanished Way Of Life?

Eric Janssen posted this video on his Facebook page.  The video is about 35 years old, and I suspect that there are very few little barges making a living this way today.  Eric's barge (Valer) was built in the 1920's and has the engine that was installed during the 1930's.  His cargo hold serves as an artist studio.  He motors about the waterways of Holland with his Schipperke, Saartje, and he is famous among fans of the little black barge dogs.
