Foy Boats serviced the larger vessels anchored in the downs awaiting favourable wind. They also doubled as lifeboats in pre R.N.L.I days.
The original Foy Boat Tavern was bombed in 1941 and the preseent building dates from the 1940s.this pub is reputedly referred to as the Channel Packet by Ian Fleming in his book 'GoldFinger'.

I believe that this was the ship depicted in the sign.
Morning Star was a brig of 140 tons constructed in Calcutta, India and registered there to the owners Lackersteen & Co. On 2 or 3 July 1814, whilst on its way from Sydney to Batavia was totally wrecked in the Torres Strait. On 30 September 1814 as the ship Eliza was passing Booby Island a white flag was spotted flying on the island. A boat was sent to investigate and found five crew from Morning Star. They stated that on 25 September the master, Robert Smart, with nine other crew left the Island for Timor in the longboat. There is no record of their arrival in Timor. Excluding the party with Smart and the five rescued by Eliza, it appears that twenty-two crew drowned in the wreck of Morning Star.
This pub is in Skipton, North Yorkshire. A narrow boat is really for use on inland waterways rather than the sea.
