ot Brightlingsea's wealth has been obtained from the sea. Oyster dredging and
cultivation known from earliest times and the main C18 industry required packing
sheds and boats. There are dis-used oyster pits to east of this building, and
the fishing smacks were built at Brightlingsea. Sprats were caught by stowboats
i.e. smacks fitted with a long open bag net, the sprats carried in by the tide.
Copperas was collected by dredging. Early/mid C19 yacht racing, cruising and
building brought renewed prosperity to the town, but only a few of the buildings
related to these industries remain, q.v. 8/63, 68, 69, 70, 71. Brewers Arms,
