Conclusion of the EPICentre Food Festival on Saturday 21st July with happy stall holders and the promise of another fine day tomorrow

With very heavy rain across the region the Gorrell Tank was drained

The outfall goes into the Harbour at the South Quay and is not normally a problem, but the shear volume of water moved the SB Greta away from the quay

Secured fore and aft and with springs extra lines were put ashore to prevent her from being pushed out

Departing Whitstable Harbour ‘Emeline’ an Oyster Dredger F14 was built at Collars Yard Whitstable in 1904 and named after owner Mr Whorlows daughter

Converted into a yacht at Anderson, Rigden & Perkins yard she went to Spain, abandoned by her owners who weren’t able to settle harbour dues she was discovered in the 1950′s by Leonard Cole who owned Leonard’s Toys in the town

Impounded by Spanish authorities she was put up for auction

The vessels plight was highlighted by the Whitstable Times with a group purchasing her for £500, completing the 1000 mile trip the 44′ 25 tonne vessel arrived in Faversham in 1993. A complete rebuild was completed in 2007 with just the original keel & stern retained
