I spent many a happy day as a child on Platessa as my father was the skipper Freddie Challis until his forced retirement after an accident at sea.I was lucky about 10 years ago when I was allowed to cut from the hull her name plate which was carved in the bow. It now is fixed to the wall in my cabin ( I say cabin as I live on 65ft widebeam only 1000 mtrs from where she lies and aptly named PLATESSA ) a constant reminder of many happy times. Great video footage
This is great stuff, nice to put names to a couple of those. Thanks.
I was part of the crew that raised her and beached her where she lays now. Thats me on the deck.All the logs of the raising of the yellowtail I donated to lowestoft Maritime Museum,
How come they never repaired the boat? Why did it sink?
Brilliant I've often wondered about those poor old boats
Interesting stuff. I grew up and went to school in Lowestoft, during the late 1950s us kids used to go a mess about on the wrecks on the south side of Lake Lothing as the land around there was largely undeveloped. As I came from a pretty poor family I used to gather up winkles from there and we would boil them for tea.
Superb research and great drone footage. Music was spot-on too. Excellent work on an all too often forgotten piece of local maritime heritage
Thanks Bob, really appreciate the compliments. Glad you enjoyed it. 👍 Ben.
Excellent work, good insight of abandoned and sunken boats. 👍
Really interesting, thank you. I remember very well seeing the 'Yellowtail' from the bridge when I lived in the town and I think I also walked out to the 'Probe' once, although I didn't know her name.
Very interesting. Thank you
Great video and hi def for sure!
I’ve been looking at a couple of houses for sale in the south shore near the (Probe) minesweeper! So interesting to get the story . I guess lake Lothing was where the old Herring fleet was layer up/abandoned. It’s the main exit from the Broads . So interesting.
Cheers Warren
Thank you so much! I lived in Lowie until a year ago (and am longing to return) I walked past these almost every day, taking many photographs, and often wondered what their stories were. I always felt that it was a sad place as so many boats were left to decay but at the same time hauntingly beautiful. I love the briney smell in the area where the salt water meets the fresh. Really great video. Thank you.
Thanks Tracey, really pleased you enjoyed it 👍
Great piece of story telling 👏👏👏
Thanks Dylan!

Thanks Ken, glad you enjoyed it.
I really liked this video but at the same time it made me very sad to see these once beautiful and cared for boats like this today.
Lovely shots !!!
Thanks Andrew, glad you enjoyed it.
Nice video, must have taken a long time to compile that with all the info too 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Jaq, Yes there was quite a bit of Googling and local brain picking involved 😉 Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
came here via ikopta great video =)
I suppose the Yellowfin suffered a similar fate. I remember working on the "Yellow Perils" in Hamilton dock.
Do you know what the boat on its side on the jetty just north east of Excelsior is?
In between the two houses is 1st oulton broad scouts boat house
That boat platessa crashed into my grandads small rowing boat once
