Ah, OK, that's before my time. So in the background is that the corner by the Swan with Horning Sailing Club just off camera to the right?

And there's a very attractive large day boat hidden between the two. Silver Dart which according to Craig was still around in 2017.

I believe that I know her and something of her history. Her registration is, I think, W, she's a Waveney boat that once belonged to a Mr Bent of Beccles.

JM her reg is W714.

The day boat W714 is indeed still very much around .... she is used as a ferry by the Barton House Railway on their open days. Second row, middle picture:

Think she's on the Thames at Oxford. If you look at the BeautifulBritain and the Nationalhistoricships websites there are articles on her.

A Norfolk Wherry at Bulcamp Lock on the River Blyth near Blyford and Wenhaston. The Lock was blown up by the Home Guard during WWII to as a precaution stop the invading Germans. Photo was taken in c1900s, I think.
