Notes: … Old Somerset Ships: A local contemporary recently contained an article on this subject, by the Rev. D M. Rose, M.A. vicar of Landport. It gives detains of vessels named from place bordering on the lower valley of the Parrett. The names in clued the Taunton, the Langport, the Bridgwater, the Parrot (or Parrett), the Burton (Burton Pynsent) and the Sedgmoor. A photographic reproduction of an engraving of the Langport is given in “The Mariner’s Mirror” for May, 1914.
