US EditionFerry for new inter-island service en route
- The volunteer-operated Wyvern ferry currently carries up to 12 people across the River Colne during summer weekends in Essex villages.
- The ferry must be replaced this year, prompting a public appeal that has raised £7,850 out of a £13,000 target from private donations and crowdfunding.
- Fundraising efforts include a local pub donating a barrel of Spitfire beer, which raised nearly £500 during the May bank holiday when 88 pints sold at £5.10 each.
- Neil Jones, Anchor pub landlord, praised the service as “a lovely little service” supported by the community, while volunteer Ian Whiscombe called the fundraising “absolutely thrilled.”
- The ferry will run until October and is expected to resume in 2026 with hopes for a new boat funded by ongoing community support and donations.
