Jinnie was an oyster skiff built in 1948 in West Mersea for local fisherman Edwin Richard Hayward.
The Pioneer Sailing Trust was set up in 1999 to restore back to sailing condition the last remaining first class Essex Skillinger smack Pioneer. She was another example of Britain's Maritime Heritage left to perish.
