About

The Lydia Eva YH89 is Great Yarmouth’s last steam drifter. Built in 1930 she acts as a floating museum for the town’s herring fishing industry. Come aboard and discover how the fishermen worked and lived.

Moored on Great Yarmouth’s Heritage South Quay, the Lydia Eva is the town’s last working steam drifter. Still capable of going to sea, she offers visitors the chance to see how fishermen worked and lived in the 1930s. Explore the wheelhouse, fish hold, crew quarters, galley and engine room with its triple-expansion steam engine. On Sunday 10th September local shanty group, the Rogue Shanty Buoys will be on board from 1100 to 1400 singing traditional shanties.
