Swan and yacht

The title sounds a bit like one of the local pubs. This was taken on my walk around Emsworth Harbour, one of many picturesque places here in the south of Hampshire. 
Steeped in history, this former Saxon village and port was once noted for its ship and boat building, rope making and oyster fishing. Early 20th century sewage pollution, however, killed off its oyster industry, today its harbour is used exclusively for recreational sailing.
The village once boasted over thirty pubs it now has just nine.
