I took a tour of her in September or October 2004 when she was visiting great yarmouth and I was there on holiday...there was a little bald guy who gave a bit of a talk about life at sea in the late 1790s.. very friendly chap and well informed
I was very apprehensive about going out on the Esk Belle, I'm not a good sailor, but when I saw the Grand Turk and we followed her, it was a sight I'll never forget. Just got back yesterday from a weeks holiday in Whitby, it wasn't the same with the Turk not there. You're lucky to live so close and in a beautiful area, our dream too is for the lottery win to enable us to live there, as it is it's a three hour drive.

Ngiyabonga! (IsiZulu: I thank you!). The old gal certainly skedaddles along with those two assisting her.

I was wondering how she was making so much speed with only 3 small staysills up, then I saw the propwash. Is she a modern built copy of the era.

nice ship looking forward too see the ship in delfzijl in 2009 with delfsail
ps where is the music from?

It is a lovely ship, pity it's up for sale. Delfsail 2009 looks like a wonderful event, I've never seen more than one ship at a time.
The music is played by a group of Whitby buskers called Freedoms Road, they sell their cd's on the street where they play.

Beautiful ship. The queue was far too long for me to wait in.
Great stuff.
