Lieutenant Sidney Upcher's Cabin Trunk
This is a late nineteenth century naval cabin trunk which was used by Lieutenant Sidney Upcher of Hingham, Norfolk in his early career. It is a large trunk, containing washing and shaving equipment and a candle holder. There is plenty of space for clothes and personal items.
Additional Notes
The trunk was generously donated to the Fishermen's Heritage Centre by Miss Olga Ward, niece of Lieutenant Upcher.
The Augusta lifeboat
The Augusta was Sheringham's first purpose built lifeboat, in service from 1838 until 1894.
Upcher Fishing and Rescue Boat
The Upcher fishing boat was built in 1826 with money loaned by Charlotte Upcher of Sheringham Hall. Being the largest fishing boat available, it was also used for rescues until a purpose built lifeboat took its place.
