The 1903 Bawley Bona on the river Orwell
A Bawley was an English sailing vessel typified by a boomless cutter rig and probably named for having a boiler for cooking shrimp in amidships. "The majority were built by Aldous of Brightlingsea"[1] but they were also built in Harwich, Erith, Southend, Leigh and on the Medway.
