Do you remember these vessels, so familiar on the River Yare for many years?
The George Jewson worked the port for some forty years up till 1952, and the Richard Lee Barber was retired from the river in 1965.
More information about the Gensteam - possibly not owned by the Port Authority - would be welcome.
