Professional wherrymen, skipper Jack Cates and skippers mate and brother George Cates are presented with official sweatshirts by the Trust. The Mayoral party and guests continue their ceremonial journey along the Broads on the wherry Albion, with skipper Jack taking the helm. The Norfolk Trading Wherry would continue from this day as a trading wherry carrying cargo for businesses from Yarmouth to Norwich and from Surlingham to Cantley.
