i started a flickr group called "boats on the norfolk broads" with a mind to see what came
 
up of interest and perhaps to unearth some interesting historic pictures.
 
i thought some of the members might find this of interest.
 
 
any information any one might have for jack robinson regarding his family history would
 
be welcome.

You don't own a boat, a boat owns you.

Scott,
It is an HLS i.e. Harbour Launch Steam.
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

If you or anyone else is interested, I have 28 photos taken on the Norfolk Broads during a family holiday on a hired yacht, the Blue Diamond, in August 1948.
 
I can email the folder to you.
 
 
Cheers,
