Framed Print of An "Old Margate Hoy", 1881. Creator: Unknown
An "Old Margate Hoy", 1881. The reader of Charles Lamb's "Essays of Elia" will remember his pleasant notice of that queer old sailing-vessel, one of the class then known as "hoys, " long before the invention of steam-boats, which was then wont to convey the holiday-making citizens of London...down the Thames and along the coast of East Kent, to their seaside place of summer recreation in the Isle of Thanet. It is not very long ago that a venerable specimen of "the Margate hoys, " after many years lingering servitude...was sent to be broken up and sold for mere firewood, her timbers having, in the lapse of nearly a century, become tolerably rotten. Our Illustration of this antiquated craft has a degree of sentimental interest, derived from reflections upon the variety of past scenes of social enjoyment which have been witnessed on her decks, but which probably were too often mingled with disappointment and weariness...and not least in the actual experience of set parties of pleasure, or excursions from home for a change." The pangs of sea-sickness and the discomforts of wet or stormy weather, must have been felt on board this vessel. Those ancient summer voyagers have, indeed, left the Thames and the Kentish shores very far behind'. From "Illustrated London News", 1881.
