History

FREYA was built in 1904 as a naval steam pinnace. She was carried on the deck of the Royal Naval ship Renown during World War I. After being decommissioned around 1920 she was converted into an Edwardian gentlemans yacht. She sailed in the Solent, occasionally to France and in the Festival of the Sea in 2001. Major repairs were carried out on the Thames between 2010 and 2011.
