History
PRISCILLA Originally registered as CK 437 One of only 3 smacks remaining that were built by Stones, despite them being a prolific and successful boat builder in the area. The boat was used for dredging oysters on the East Coast until approximately 1975 when she was purchased for leisure use. Boat was later coated in concrete to extend her life. Recovered in 2002 after being found in a marina in Bristol. Now retuerned to Essex awaiting restoration. Oct 2011 GH
