PRESS: Spectators thrilled as Deben Cherub back on Suffolk water
Nov 1, 2019
Back where it belongs, a Deben Cherub has been fully restored and returned to the water after being launched back on to the River Deben by the boatyard that created it.
Dubbed the East Coast Pocket Cruiser, over 150 people turned out to support the launch of the wooden sailing vessel, one of 17 built in Woodbridge between 1924 and 1937.
The Woodbridge Boatyard, formerly Everson's boatyard, has stood proudly by the riverside for 130 years and hosting the momentous occasion, was thrilled at the crowds that gathered to watch the cherub named 'Ariel'.
