Favourite
is the last Oyster Yawl to remain in Whitstable and in public ownership.
She comemorates the oyster fishing and shipbuilding industries that once
thrived. Favourite is a much loved part of the street scene in Island
Wall, near the disappeared shipyards, sail makers and forges once built
on the beach. Grants from the Heritage Lottery Fund, Maritime Heritage
Trail and Living Spaces are helping the Favourite Trust to produce leaflets,
a web site and information boards and to tidy the site. To see the rebuilding of Favourite - CLICK HERE! |
