Itchen Ferry Freda

I'm pretty sure I saw Freda sailing on the Deben, over on east coast a few years ago. A quick search suggests she was sold by Wooden Ships brokerage in 2022, which may be when she returned to Hampshire inChichester harbour, if not her original home the Itchen and Southampton Water.

Wooden Ships describe her as an Itchen Ferry gaff cutter designed by Daniel G. Hatcher and built by Fays of Northam in 1890. Looking pretty good for her 130 plus years.
