When I first started coming down to the Broads just over 50 years ago we would always find things that had been "lost" from boats, fenders, mops, boat hooks etc.
We would collect these items and hand them in to the boatyard at the end of our holiday.
I remember being told at one boatyard that at the end of the season all the boatyards would get together at a large empty warehouse-type building and take all "found" items
The boatyard owners would have a look around at everything and claim back anything that they could recognise as theirs
Does anyone know if this sort of arrangement still exists?
