'schooner' Identity / Fate ?


RumPunch

Recommended Posts

Browsing the website Britain from Above, there are some fascinating old images. Looking at this image  from 1932 https://britainfromabove.org.uk/en/image/EPW039221 there is a schooner moored opposite what is now the yacht station in Norwich

Any ideas - Cadet vessel ?

The foremast on a schooner is shorter than the main normally. I think she could be a Baltic Trader or one of the North Sea keels. She is obviously in trade/ has been as she has large hold covers. Don't think she is a Dutchman or barge as there do not appear to be any lee boards.

my Grandad had a schooner named 'Wildflower' he stripped the copper off the bottom and gave it to the sea scouts who wreaked it on Corton?beach.. I have a photo of it somewhere going through Mutford lock..
