EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of the Norwich Norfolk Wherry, a traditional sailing barge that once graced the waters of the Norfolk Broads in England during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The image, taken likely in the 1920s, depicts a lone wherry skillfully navigating the winding waterways, its sails billowing in the wind. The wherry, with its distinctive flat-bottomed hull and tall mast, cuts through the water with a grace and elegance that speaks to a bygone era. The Norfolk Broads, a network of navigable broads or lakes, have a rich maritime history, and the Norwich Norfolk Wherry was an integral part of that history. These barges were used for transporting goods, such as grain, coal, and timber, as well as passengers, between the various villages and towns that dot the Broads. The wherries were also used for fishing and pleasure sailing. The photograph, part of The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when life moved at a slower pace and the natural beauty of the waterways was a source of inspiration and livelihood for many. The image is a testament to the enduring charm of the Norwich Norfolk Wherry and the Norfolk Broads, which continue to attract visitors from around the world who seek to experience the magic of this unique and historic region.
