the wherry ardea

[loribear]

While watching the webcam on the broadsman from wroxham it went past an old wherry , which i took a photo of, but did'nt know which one it was , so i posted it on fbook & asked the norfolk wherry trust, & apparently it has been to france & back. Here's the picture & info about it. Lori It's the pleasure wherry Ardea. She has an interesting history ref :- http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/norfolk/4302632.stm

Hi Lori,

 

When there was a webcam at Southgates yard at Horning it was usually focused on the work being carried out on Ardea.

 

After the work was completed and Ardea left the yard the webcam was left in the same position as they had a resident otter to watch.

Hi Lori

 

We had the great honour of being shown around Ardea a couple of years ago. Stunning craft and a credit to her owner. Few photos attached.

WOW what beautiful pictures, she looked really nice inside , i really love all that wood , it must have been a really special boat when it was first made. Lori

She is one very special Wherry. The inside is spectacular. Long may she sail  The Broads!
