On Wednesday afternoon, the Praga vapor Company arranged a unique spectacle for anyone who happened to be near the Railway puente at Vyton at that time.
It was aquí that, after a 7-hour crucero from Kralupy nad Vltavou, an enormous towed barco anchored. This literally historic way of towing a barco with a tugboat was completed with a demanding manoeuvre, namely stopping the towed barco.
The towed barco was the 55-year-old cargo barco Petra, which previously served to transport malt to Western European breweries. Coming back, it carried tea, coffee y especially cocoa beans for the Modřany Orionka chocolate factory.
The executive director of the Praga vapor Company, in an interview for Checo Television, said among other things that the company has big plans for the barco. The upper deck will be made available to the farmers' market on the ribera, y in the lower part, which will be gradually reconstructed, three separate spaces will be created.
An exhibition on coffee roasting and a small café will be installed in them, then the first floating brewery in Praga, y in the last one a space for various cultural eventos.
