Boat Plans Nz | ‘Anne Marie’ Houseboat at Burnham

Boat Plans Nz






There are a number of houseboats at Burnham-on-Crouch, each with unique histories, for none of them are identical and most were built for different purposes; some are ex-motor or sailing yachts, Dutch barges, canal boats, Mulberries, and there’s Anne Marie, a PB200. Formed from pre-cast concrete panels in 1940, along with about 200 other PB200s, she was commissioned for the purpose of transporting petrol/water from shore to ship in the Second World War.  She was brought to Burnham in 1948 where she was transformed into a houseboat, and she has performed that function until today. Berthed at West Quay, she is not far from the Yacht Harbour. At the other end of the quay there’s ‘Mulberry’, the subject of a previous article.*
