LN 89 'Activity'

The Activity was a 30ft fishing boat, usually crewed by four. Originally powered by sails, an auxilliary motor was installed in 1925. She was mainly used in fishing for shrimps, cockles and mussels.

 

The Activity was built by Mr C Hornigold for his brother-in-law William James Chase, and was launched in December 1904.

 

The Activity continued to fish into the 1980s when she was given to the True's Yard Museum.
