==Survivors== All types of wherry eventually became uneconomic to run, but a small number have been saved either by private individuals or charities. Most of the survivors can be seen sailing up and down the rivers and broads today, although some are awaiting full restoration. Of the eight surviving examples of recreational and commercial sailing wherries, seven are on the National Register of Historic Ships. An eighth wherry listed on the Register is ''Jester'' a motorized ice wherry of 1923. In April 2011, [[Wherry Yacht Charter Charitable Trust]] opened their restored base in [[Wroxham]], where work on the restoration and maintenance of the [[Edwardian era|Edwardian]] pleasure wherry ''Hathor'' and wherry yachts ''Norada'' and ''Olive'' can be undertaken in all weathers. The site located at Barton House was part of a Β£1.5 million project.<ref>{{citation | publisher = EDP24 | place = UK | url = http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/wroxham_base_opened_for_wherries_restoration_1_870437 | title = Wroxham base opened for wherries restoration | access-date = 23 April 2011 | archive-date = 8 August 2011 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20110808200146/http://www.edp24.co.uk/news/wroxham_base_opened_for_wherries_restoration_1_870437 | url-status = dead }}</ref> As of Easter 2012, ''White Moth'' is also based here. ''Norada'' was officially relaunched after restoration in July 2012, while ''Olive'' celebrated similarly in July 2013. The [[Norfolk Wherry Trust]] keep trading wherry ''Albion'' at Forsythe Wherry Yard, off Womack Water at [[Ludham]]; trading wherry [[Maud (wherry)|''Maud'']] also berths here in the winter. ''Solace'' can usually be seen on Wroxham Broad in the sailing season, while ''Ardea'' is often seen at Southgates yard in [[Horning]]. {|class="wikitable" |+Norfolk wherries<ref>{{citation | publisher = Wherry yacht charter (www.wherryyachtcharter.org) | url = http://www.wherryyachtcharter.org/others | title = Others.php}}{{deadlink|date=December 2023}}</ref><ref name="Hathor">{{citation |publisher=Wherry yacht charter (www.wherryyachtcharter.org) | url=https://www.wherryyachtcharter.org/hathor | title=Hathor |access-date=30 December 2023}}.</ref><ref>{{citation | publisher = Wherry yacht charter | url = http://www.wherryyachtcharter.org/olive | title = Olive |access-date=30 December 2023}}.</ref><ref>{{citation | publisher = Wherry yacht charter | url = http://www.wherryyachtcharter.org/norada | title = Norada |access-date=30 December 2023}}.</ref> |- !Vessel !Type !Built !Notes |- |[[Albion (wherry)|''Albion'']] |trading wherry | 1898, Oulton Broad | Owned by the Norfolk Wherry Trust.
