Caption

Traditional Norfolk boats, 1814. Top and bottom are Norfolk hay boats, small square-rigged coastal vessels with shallow draught which enabled them to navigate English east coast estuaries and visit inland ports. They were particularly used to transport hay to London for the many carriage and cart horses. The vessel in the centre is a coble, a small fishing boat.
