Lydia Eva is the last surviving steam drifter, moored on South Quay in Great Yarmouth. Photographers can capture classic maritime lines, weathered brass and timber details, mooring ropes and reflections on the harbour. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm tones and reflective water; weekday mornings are quieter. Boat sits on a public quayside with limited museum entry—check opening times and modest admission. On-street and quay parking nearby; expect sea breeze and rapidly changing light.
