The barge ship Xylonite that features in Dunkirk was based in Hythe Quay, Maldon.
A MALDON-based barge which has a starring role in blockbuster movie Dunkirk has gone up for sale.

The boat is now is being sold for £425,000.
Xylonite was bought by Tim Kent nearly six years ago.
The boat, which was built in 1926, was a cargo vessel and later a motor barge before being taking out of service in 1977.
It boasts a living room, fullyfitted galley, four bedrooms and a bathroom.
Xylonite is being sold by Riverhomes.
In June last year the ship sailed across to Dunkirk for two weeks of filming where the boat was used for a number of scenes and featured in the trailer.
