Schooner HEARTSEASE as a houseboat at Tollesbury in the 1950s. Photograph sent by James Blott, grandson of John Blott, and whose family had HEARTSEASE as a houseboat between 1952 and about 1970. She was destroyed in 1993, some 20 years after their ownership had ended. A 'copy' was made by Pendennis Yachts in Falmouth and named ADELA - the original name of HEARTSEASE.
James comments that in 2021, seven yachts occupied this space. HEARTSEASE was 131 ft overall.
