A unique opportunity to own a remarkable piece of East Coast maritime history.
Mary Amelia MN59 is a 34ft Howard smack built in 1914 for the Osbourne family to cockle out of Leigh-on-Sea. Over more than a century, she has built an extraordinary story of survival, restoration and adventure.
Rescued from being sunk in 1981 by Colin Fox, she was later purchased by Jonathan Simper in 2001, who undertook a major rebuild in 2008–09, replacing approximately 70% of the vessel’s structure while preserving her historic character.
Mary Amelia has featured in film work, been documented in several of Robert Simper’s books, and has even cruised as far as Calais.
Now available at a reduced asking price of £25,000.
