    This boat was once owned by Karel Van den Eede, the last parlevinker on the Scheldt.

    This sloop of the last parlevinker serves as a chapel on the Scheldedijk.
    Did you know that you:
    A parlevinker is an entrepreneur who sells goods, usually foodstuffs, from his boat. The name 'parlevinker' or 'zokkerelaar' was used on the river, while in port areas it was referred to as 'kadraaier' or 'kaaidraaier'.


    Parlevinkers were mostly active in Flanders on the major rivers.
