Accommodation
Construction
Rock was designed by Richard Dunston Shipbuilders of Thorne in Yorkshire and shares many design features with Humber Keel vessels. She was built by the London & Rochester company at their Strood yard on the Medway in 1961. A distinctive feature of this smaller coastal barge fleet built by the company this period, was that the vessels were given names beginning with RO, such as Roan, Robust, Rodent, Roffen, Rohay, Rowena and Rock to signify their relationship to Rochester,
Rock was taken out of commercial service on the East Coast trading routes in 1990 and converted for charter and subsequently for residential use. Although she was undergone some external changes she still remains a rare and fully working 88 hp Kelvin K4 diesel oil engine by the Bergius Co Ltd. Glasgow.
She was initially equipped with a 66 hp Kelvin K3 engine and upgraded to a K4 during her trading life. Rock is one of a few surviving and fully operational Medway Coasters left in the UK.
