I usually visit Wells 2 or 3 times a year.Looking back through my records the last time I saw a ship at the grain silo there was in Feb 1989.It was the Egret,St Vincent flag,273grt,built 1967.There is one picture of it on this site.
Now all the activity is at the new harbour at the mouth of the channel just behind the lifeboat station.This is the base for the fast crew boats servicing the construction of the Sheringham Shoal wind turbine site.When I was last there in April there were six of them in,belonging to Holyhead Towing, Island Shipping and MPI Workboats.
