More of Donald Shield’s photographs from 1903

A stunning, counter sterned sailing cruiser flying an ensign on the rear. Up ahead you can just see the stern and sail of a wherry.

An unknown halfdecker pictured in 1903.

A very full, lugsail halfdecker!

Two unidentified trading wherries - note that the one in the foreground is obviously heavily laden with cargo as it is sitting extremely low in the water!

Two sailing cruisers at an unknown location. The cruiser in the foreground has a very unusual design, with a slipper stern sweeping down towards the waterline, and was either “Pelican”, “Alligator” or “Water Beetle” from Wroxham. Note the length of the bowsprit on the cruiser behind. In the background you can see the white sail of a pleasure wherry.

An unknown skipper or crew member pictured in 1903.

Posing for the camera!

The crew of a passing sailing cruiser are captured on camera by Donald.

Ditchcrawling On The Norfolk Broads 1903

St. Benets Abbey on the River Bure, pictured in 1903.

Towing the boat!

This looks like it may be Candle Dyke - an isolated cottage still stands on this spot today.

Following on from the previous picture, this looks like it could be somewhere on the upper Thurne, heading towards Hickling or Horsey.
