Joe and I visited the Amy Howson, a Humber sloop which was moored at Ferriby Sluice. She was a working vessel until the late 1960s carrying cargoes from as far inland as York and Leeds to Grimsby and Hull. She was bought by the preservation society in 1978 http://www.humberships.org.uk/html/humber_sloop_amy_howson.html
In the somewhat untidy cargo hold is a rather amateurihly arranged display of pictures of the Amy Howson and her sister ships over the last century or so. The cabin is beautifully fitted, but I couldn't get a photo through the glass peephole from the engine room.
Here she is . . .


. . . and here is Ferriby Sluice with the herd of sheep grazing the banks of the Humber.
