Glossary

http://www.sailingnavies.com/glossary.php

Wherry 1: sailing barge used especially in East Anglia [syn: Norfolk wherry]

2: light rowboat for use in racing or for transporting goods and passengers in inland waters and harbours.

http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/wherry

Skiff n. any of various small boats propelled by oars or by sails.

http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/skiff

Bum Boats “ . . . . . Bum Boats are in general small Boats, that carry from between Fifteen hundred to a Ton Weight: That they go about the River,

under pretence of selling Brooms, Greens and Fruit, and sometimes spirituous Liquors, to Persons on board Ships, but in reality they bring Stores from the

Ships, such as Hemp, Cordage, Corn, Coals, Tobacco, Sugar, and Iron Bolts, which the Witness imagines they get fraudulently: That there are Four Persons

in this Neighbourhood , who have between them about Fifty of these Boats , which they lett out at at 2d. per Day each Boat; . . . .”

Journals of the House of Commons (1803 reprint), Date published: 1761, Volume number: 28, Page: 1026

Jolly boat smaller than a cutter, a clinker-built ship's boat that was used chiefly as a hack boat for small work.

Yawl ship's small rowing-boat; small fore-and-aft rigged vessel with mizzen-mast abaft rudder post.

This is what Charles Dickens Jnr had to say about it in 1887, “A barge of 45 tons register will carry some 100 tons of goods, and is navigated by two men,

who, if the vessel comes from Rochester or thereabouts, need not be freemen of the Watermen's Company. Anybody, in fact, may bring a barge from the

Medway, but if the vessel start from Gravesend a freeman must be on board - an anomaly which appears absurd. Further, a barge coming up and going

through the bridges is compelled, if it take a third hand, to take a waterman, although all the way from the Medway to London Bridge she may have been

sailed by outsiders. Vested interests are indeed wonderful institutions, and singularly tenacious of life!”
