Boudicea (CK213) is an historic 30ft East Coast fishing smack believed to have been built in Maldon in 1808. Registered in Colchester, she was used for oyster dredging and trawling before retiring in 1938. After a major restoration, she remains in active use and may be the oldest boat of her type still in commission. The boat is also the subject of a book, "Boadicea CK 213: The Story of an East Coast Fishing Smack" by Michael Frost.
