Hi all

I have the below plaque on my barge. Whilst I have a literal translation via Google I am looking for more 'vernacular' phrasing so I can have an extra plaque made in English to hang next to the original.

As always, many thanks in advance.

It is a kind of old fashion poetry like style of Dutch.
Meaning
Restless I sailed with cargo,
Almost for 63 years

Now Recreated as a yacht,
I serve now as a pleasure sailing toy
