What this little boat's true name may once have been I have no way of knowing, so - forgive me - I felt the need to invent one. I imagine small craft like this would have been a common enough sight along the Kent coast 60 years ago. These days the vessels you see fishing off Shellness are of very different layout, built using modern materials. On the left, partly hidden, is one of the dozens of old railway vans stranded around the boatyard. For another view of this vessel see Image
