Lydia Eva is the last surviving steam drifter of the herring fishing fleet based in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.[1] The Great Yarmouth herring fleet had made the town the major herring port in the world in the early part of the 20th century. She is listed as part of the National Historic Fleet. She famously appeared in the film Wonka.[2]
