History
CORONATION was built in Great Yarmouth in 1902 as a shrimper. Now on display at Time & Tide Great Yarmouth. She is typical of the many shrimpers which trawled for shrimps to supply the booming tourist trade at the end of the 19th century. A 4.5m trawl was used and the shrimps were landed and boiled to be ready for the visitors' tea. GH June 2010
