Wherries are shallow keeled sailing boats used, since the 1600s, to carry cargo on the Norfolk Broads. However, since the development of cheap road transport and freight vehicles, they have all but disappeared as working vessels.

Traditionally wherries are clinker built and powered by one sail, usually black in colour, due to the tar and fish oil used to protect the sail from the elements. Today just a handful of wherries remain, Albion – in the photograph, is the only cargo wherry still sailing The Broads, she is owned by the Norfolk Wherry Trust and moored at their wherry base, on Womack Water near Ludham, Norfolk (UK).
