Favourite, the last Oyster Yawl remaining in Whitstable, had been
beached since 1943 and the wind and rain had caused a great deal
of damage. From the outside her hull looked complete, but this photograph
shows that much of the bottom planking and frames had rotted away,
despite the efforts of volunteers over the years. Where water could
not soak in, frames and planks had remained sound and were incorporated
into the rebuilt hull.
