Excelsior

Lowestoft sailing smack, built 1921. The only restored survivor of a fleet of 350 sailing trawlers that fished out of Lowestoft for plaice & sole in the North Sea - in all weathers. Original crew 4 men and a boy.

These photos taken 22nd June 2002 at the Lowestoft Fish Fayre.

Ropes at the sharp end!

Tourists swarming all over - but that's what I was this day so I won't make rude comments about them!

Sleeping and eating quarters down below decks.

Navigation controls - I think.

Back end - you can tell I don't know much about this boat!!

Back end & tiller, as seen from the quay.
