Lydia Eva is the last steam drifter and the last boat to have been constructed in the ship yard in Kings Lynn. Over 1000 of these fishing vessels worked out of Yarmouth in the 1920s.

On-board displays tell the story of the Lydia Eva and the East Coast herring fishing industry.

Lydia Eva is one of just 60 boats on the National Historic Ships Register. It is moored on Yarmouth’s historic South Quay near the Town Hall.
