I was working at Martham Ferry today which is run by Mark King. Martham Ferry Boatyard is situated on the River Thurne overlooking the National Trust land on Heigham Holmes. In recent years the boatyard has been extensively improved by Mark including a new workshop, Hoilday Homes and Moorings.
Todays Survey was on the old wooden cruiser pictured below.
She is a product of the era of the tall sided majestic looking wooden Broadland Motor Cruisers designed specifically for hire on the inland water ways.
She is undergoing a complete refit which will include a new engine. I will be acting as a Consultant during the refitting process which could take up to 2 years for completion.
