Scrollwork from the bow of the steam yacht SEAHORSE. The 1891 steam yacht became a houseboat at West Mersea, and was dismantled in 2005. The scroll work was donated to the Museum by Maureen Phillips. The brass letters came from the boat, though some had to be rescued from the mud. Restoration was carried out by David Green, assisted by John Green and Brian Jay. The work has been on display in Mersea Museum since 2013.
