Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Spry in Diglis Basin dry dock.. The Spry is the last surviving Severn Trow, a type of cargo sailing vessel once common on the River Severn. The characteristic sweep of the hull can be seen in the picture and she would have had a mast that could be lowered for passage under bridges. See Trow http://www.worcesterpeopleandplaces.com/articles/the_severn_trow_spry.asp http://www.livinggloucester.co.uk/histories/river_severn/at_work/severn_trows/

After languishing as a hulk in Diglis Basin for many years, at the time the picture was taken she had been moved into the dry dock for restoration. See also 254187. The Spry is now on display at the Blists Hill site of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum.
