The Norwich Belle Interview
"They used to have the boats taking people out on sea trips and the old Norwich Belle and the Eastern Princess and they used to do quite well on trips up the Broads ...No they were done by the proper engines diesel engines they were quite nice because you got seats all round the side and you could sit and watch as you went out the Harbour and they take you out to Scroby Island which years ago there used to be a wreck on there so they would take people out to see the wreck and see the seals and not get to close as it was dangerous but obviously they knew how far to go and people did use to see the seals."
