Picture 36 - Oulton Regatta.

OULTON REGATTA. Our illustration shows some of the fleetest racing craft for their tonnage in the kingdom taking part in the annual Regatta, and with their graceful lines and snow-white sails they present a spirited picture, besides affording good sport. Though, perhaps, not quite so picturesque in its surroundings as some of the smaller and more secluded Broads, Oulton - probably through its close proximity to Lowestoft - appears gayer than any other, for in early season and late, every description of boat, from the humble fishing punt to the majestic sea-going 20-ton yacht, may be seen resting on its rippling surface, and on Regatta Day anything which will float is brought into service.
