Norfolk Wherry Trust
The Norfolk Wherry Trust is a waterway society and registered charity 1084156 in Norfolk, England, UK. based at Womack Water near Ludham, Norfolk Broads. The Trust keeps afloat "Albion", an example of the Norfolk Trading Wherry, so that she can be seen on the rivers and broads. Albion was built in 1898 - unusually - as a carvel wherry in oak on oak frames, by William Brighton, Lake Lothing, Suffolk (between Oulton Broad and Lowestoft) for Bungay Maltsters WD and AE Walker. All other trading wherries in East Anglia were clinker built. Albion's first load was coal from Lowestoft to Bungay.
