Jinnie - Episode 9: Apron & Stem: Part 1

Episode 9 of the restoration of Jinnie, an old oyster dredger from Mersea Island. In this episode, we turn our attention to the apron and stem — two important parts of Jinnie’s bow that have seen many years of hard work on the Blackwater and beyond. We take a closer look at what remains, the work needed to restore these vital timbers, and the traditional skills involved in bringing them back to life. Follow along as Jinnie slowly returns to the water, one piece at a time. #Jinnie #OysterDredger #MerseaIsland #BoatRestoration #TraditionalBoatbuilding #Essex #BlackwaterEstuary
