Picture 35 - Oulton Broad.

OULTON BROAD. Entering the Broad from the Waveney entails a sail of a mile-and-a-half up Oulton Dyke, before the sheet of water, 140 acres in extent, opens out Scudding across this with all canvas spread, the portion known as the “ham” is entered, and here in passing may be seen that many a boat which has done good service with the Lowestoft fishermen, has found its last resting place. Past the popular Wherry Hotel-the „Cecil“ of the Broads a lock has to be negotiated, and this gives access to Lake Lothing, a tidal piece of water two miles in length, and ending in Lowestoft Harbour, from which the open sea may be gained.
