A RARE EARLY 19TH-CENTURY MODEL FOR A BRIGHTON HOG-BOAT

Brighton hog-boats (or 'hoggies'), were common fishing boats of the South Coast between Eastbourne and Shoreham during the 18th and 19th Centuries, and usually had lee boards fitted. Gradually replaced by two-masted luggers, no original examples are believed to exist.
