The Emajõe-Peipsi barge is a unique wooden trading vessel. In Estonia, Peipsi barges sailed the inland waters for more than 600 years – from the 14th until the middle of the 20th century – thus contributing greatly to the prosperity of several Estonian towns, especially Tartu.

The barge being built will be 22 meters long and 9 meters wide and will have 240m2 of sail area.

The unusually round and flat-bottomed hull of the barge (the length and width ratio 1,3:2) made it perfect for navigation in the shallow waters of the Emajõgi River and Lake Peipsi and land in the rather challenging port locations characteristic of the region.

Peipsi barges were usually 12-25 meters in length, but occasionally giants up to 35 meters were built. The cargo space of a Peipsi barge was quite large and the crew very small. Most of the time there were just three people quartered in the stern and forecastle.

Barges moved with the help of a large square sail. When there was no wind, the boats stood anchored. In urgent cases, the barges were towed from the riverbanks with long cotton ropes.
