Norfolk wherry - the Viking invasion. After 1800, the Norfolk Keel (or 'keel wherry') disappeared, partly because a wherry could be sailed with fewer crew, and it had limited manoeuvrability and lacked speed. Wherries came in different sizes, according to the river they used. The North Walsham & Dilham Canal Wherry was max. 50' x 12' x 3'6". The River Ant Wherry was 50' x 12' max. The River Bure Wherry was 54'x 12' 8", but for the Aylsham Navigation, i.e. the upper reaches of the Bure, the boats had to be 12' 6" x 3'6" maximum. On the southern Broads, steam wherries were used. The River Waveney Wherry was 70' x 16' max. Wherries could be propelled by hand, if need be, by using a quant pole. A special wherry wheelbarrow was used.
