Great to see these old beasts of the water still in use. I was out there on holiday for a week a couple of weeks ago, and saw a wherry or two coming down the Ant with a load of excited kids on board!
See lots Thames Barges on the Essex Coast and have been on a Humber Super Sloop all very graceful and calm .
I was privelidged to be a skipper of Albion in the late eighties

Ray Sonman was the boy. He was in his seventies then. Great times
I remember seeing Nat Bircham loading sugar-beet at Wroxham for Cantley in about 1959
A young boatbuilder, Don McDermott, has just started raising money to build a new working wherry that will be called Lady Garnet. He has a You Tube channel (Don McDermott).
