During their university holidays in the late 1880s, S.K. Baker and
three of his University College friends clad in stripy blazers and
boaters spent time sailing and camping on the Norfolk Broads.
Baker, a keen artist and diarist, recorded their travels in
watercolour in two small leather bound books. The result is an
entirely charming, funny account along the lines of the legendary
Three Men in a Boat with which the notebooks are entirely
contemporaneous although the protagonists are younger and possibly
naughtier. Baker records their evenings in the pub, their
encounters with girls, (both ashore and afloat), nude swimming and
culinary disasters, while recording lovingly the landscape and the
boats on which they sailed. The notebook is published as a
facsimile with an introduction by Michael Goffe, the son of one of
Baker's fellow students, to whom it was gifted.
