Might we assume it was pumping water rather than milling corn? By now the penny had dropped and even someone as dim as your author realised that our well-travelled mystery family of photographers were holidaying on the Norfolk Broads. This windmill stands suspiciously atop a sluice gate. Might it be a malthouse? And might wherries have transported to and from it along the riverways? Here we see a similar wherry next to a riverside building which is topped by a distinctive roof crowned with an outsized square chimney. Taking these characteristics into account, even the briefest enquiry from the most lily-livered of landlubbers shows that the pictured vessel is a wherry. Likewise, the Queen Mary and the Erebus might struggle to moor at the shallow wooded riverbank of an idyllic English waterway. A white hull sits below what, to this landlubber, looks like a teak deck.Īlthough a handsomely proportioned craft, I wouldn’t like to cross the Atlantic in it or try to find the Northwest Passage. This one is long and thin and enjoys an extensive cabin, tall mast, shallow draft and has a rowing boat in tow. But he does know that boats, as with railway engines, are all the same but all different. You can be assured he knows nothing about the rigging other than that there’s a yardarm in there somewhere which promises refreshment as the sun dips below it. You author wouldn’t pretend to be an expert on anything that’s decorated in sails and bobbing about on wet stuff. The album begins with a boat, literally decked out with tarpaulins as if tied up alongside for the night during an expedition.

Those locomotive photos were from 1925, therefore the next set of reproductions can be assumed to pre-date the middle year of the 20th century’s third decade. Having exhausted the train photographs to the middle of our mystery album, with care we shall turn its century-old leaves to the front.
