The Bessie Ellen



This wonderful Westcountry Trading craft was built here in Plymouth in 1904. She had a varied working life trading around Devon, Cornwall, and in the Irish Sea. 

She is one of three such vessels still in current use, out of the six hundred that were built.
















She is part of the UK core collection of historic vessels but she is no museum ship.

This sturdy boat has a full 11 month a year sailing programme offering sailing holidays around the UK and Europe, together with the warmer waters of the Canaries during the winter.
Find complete details of her history, specifications and full sailing programme, by clicking here.
