Barry Roberts - 'The Severn Trow' - A postcard from the Penarth Dock Collection. 'Pictured on the R. Severn at Framilode c.1900 is the 55 ton 'Norah', built at Bridgewater in 1868. Many of these distinctive flat-bottomed craft were built at yards on the R. Severn and at Gloucester throughout the nineteenth century, sailing coastal waters and up river. From an original watercolour by Barry Roberts.' [001] [506] [507]
