{{Short description|Type of English sailboat}} A '''bawley''' was an English sailing vessel typified by a boomless cutter rig and probably named for having a boiler for cooking shrimp in amidships. "The majority were built by Aldous of Brightlingsea",<ref>Leather, John, The Gaff Rig Handbook, 2002, Adlard Coles Nautical, London, pages 62-65</ref> but they were also built in Harwich, Erith, Southend, Leigh, and on the Medway.
