Photographs of the Eastern Princess an ex Motor Torpedo Boat
By Neil Cox
The Eastern Princess was an ex Motor Torpedo Boat, after the war she was used as a passenger boat-taking holidaymakers to Scroby sands to see the seals. She used to depart from town hall quay on two-hour trips.
In her later years, she finished her career-taking passengers on cruises to Reedham village, sailing from the Cobholm side of Haven Bridge, again on two-hour trips.
She was involvedĀ in an accident with a coaster near her winter berth by Gorleston Ferry in which she was so badly damaged that she was sold. Her whereabouts from then onĀ are unknown.
