This is an illustrated advertising brochure / booklet for "J. Loynes & Sons, Yacht & Motor Launch Owners & Builders" of Wroxham on the Norfolk Broads. The brochure has details of a variety of sailing boats and motor launches which were available for hire for holidays on the Broads. There are b/w photographic images of most of the boats, with line drawn deck and accommodation plans, a brief description of the vessel and details of the hiring fees. The boats range from a Wherry Barge which came with a crew of two men, to small motor cruisers. There is a fold-out map of the Broads area in the middle of the brochure. There is also a table of distances, details of what the boats are equipped with and some general information. The booklet measures 22.5cm x 13.8cm and has 24 pages plus covers. A scarce item and a lovely addition to a collection.
