PW  -  thats a great picture of a transom wherry - not sure I have seen that one before!! Handy though, you could have stuck an old Seagull on that if it had survived!!!

For some reason, I really like that picture - thank you!!

P.S. Archiving is hugely important and whilst it costs, it produces great treasures. I cannot stress enough, however, to all those who have private old pictures/ records, especially of wherries, that these are not lost but steps are taken to preserve them.In the future , others will thank you for so doing, So please please take care of our past and ensure steps are taken to pass them on to bodies who can treasure them too.

Marsh, the transom wherry picture is off an old glass slide so I doubt that it has been published. Right click and save if you wish.
