The schooner Ethel Edith of Ipswich (and later of Faversham) was built by Robert Peck of Ipswich in 1892. Of 97 tons burden, she was 88 feet long, with a 23 foot beam and an 8 foot draught. Owned initially by her builder, by 1919 she had been re-registered at Faversham as the property of Mr Arthur Wenban of Milton Regis. After several further changes of ownership she eventually became a houseboat at Pin Mill until the 1960s and is believed to be still there although in a derelict condition.
