The Lowestoft Regatta - drawn by Duncan, 1850. Creator: Unknown

The Lowestoft Regatta, [Suffolk] - drawn by Duncan, 1850....not less than some fifteen thousand persons, or about four times the numerical amount of the resident population, assembled, ostensibly to see the Regatta, but fully one-half found amusement in various other charms which the coast and immediate inland presented...the yacht-race was everything that could be desired; and there being a stiff breeze, the seamanship exhibited in the run of twelve miles - six in and back - was most complimentary to all parties concerned. Still greater seamanship, however - or at least of a more unique kind - was exhibited in the race with the yawls, whose construction is peculiar to this coast, being of most graceful and elegant form, and with a very foreign air about them - an aspect not a little strengthened by the number of Dutch, and French, and other continental fishing craft frequenting the port'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
