House originally built in 1815 by Robert George
as a (beerhouse) refuge for mariners. The first permanent building on the `Beach
Village'.
Aaron George applied for a licence to sell wine on
Tuesday, 29th August 1882.
Application hearing adjourned until 12th September on account of Mr.
George not attending the August Petty Session.
Application granted - But the Chairman took the opportunity that "the
disgraceful habit of swearing in some public-houses had become so
frequent and was becoming quite i8ntolerable. He would take it upon
himself to have a number of placards printed with "Bad language strictly
prohibited". Superintendent Basham agreed with the idea and
promised to see that every public-house in the district be furnished
with a card.
Tuesday, 10th February 1903 - Already licensed to
sell beer and wine, Captain Aaron Bunny George, retired master
mariner , applied for a spirit licence. He said he had been at sea for
many years and was the owner of the Ship Inn, which stood on the corner
of Victoria Street and Tan Lane. If the licence was granted it would be
a convenience to the lifeboatmen, visitors, golfers and the public in
general.
Application refused.
Found named as the SHIP from 1900.
Spirit licence transferred from Somerton
LION 1957.
Lounge extension added 1958
Refurbished c1987.
Referenced as the oldest Public House in Caister.
Mrs Mobbs won `Best Pub Garden' award 1996
