More about this scene
The 'Widgeon' is drawn up alongside the mill offloading its cargo. Even when fully laden, such wherries would only draw a little over two feet of water, making them the perfect vessels for navigating the shallow waters of the Broads. Note the single high-peaked mainsail: its considerable height allowed the craft to collect every last puff of wind blowing across the tree-fringed banks.
