The Norfolk Wherry Trust is home to the historic wherry Albion, a 127-year-old traditional vessel and one of only two remaining commercial wherries built specifically for the Broads. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the unique wetlands of the Broads beneath Albion's expansive black sail, reminiscent of the Edwardian era when skippers took holidaymakers on scenic trips.

The Trust offers sailing experiences during the summer months, and hosts Free Public Open Days in 2026, aimed at engaging the community and sharing the history of these remarkable craft. With over 300 wherries in operation at their peak, the Albion stands out as a living testament to the rich maritime heritage of Norfolk.
