The scow was the main form of transport of goods to towns outside the main ports. Copied from a US design they had 2 or 3 centreboards and a couple were still in service up until the late 1950’s. One was still sailing but with an auxiliary engine calling up the estuary where I lived .
They discharged a load of steers for the freezing works 5 miles away. The steers, having never encountered anyone not on horseback got lose and romped through the Chinese market gardens.
If I had captured the scene on film I could have retired then and there.
