Lovely video...very atmospheric! I visit Whitby regularly but missed this amazing sight, i bet a few people ducked when the cannons fired! It's such a shame now The Grand Turk has been sold and moved on. Still a beautiful town well worth a visit. Thanks for sharing. Paula x

It's a pleasure to share this and the Turk video with you and all of the people who missed it, or just want to watch again and remember the wonderful sight of them sailing into wonderful Whitby Harbour. Yes, Endeavour fired a canon when she'd passed through the swing bridge, we were just crossing the road there and a chap in front of us ducked so quickly and so low we thought he'd been shot! Looking forward to being there in June.

I was on the Endeavour Replica as voyage crewmember when she crossed from Vancouver to Hawaii, back in 1999. My husband and I visited Whitby to see where she began.

I hope you liked Whitby as much as we do and enjoyed the video.

it says Bark, but i was under the impression that was known as a "cat", or Whitby coal carrier. She's a unique and beautiful ship to be sure

Yes, Endeavour was a Whitby Cat, as to the Bark or Barque bit, can I refer you to Wikipedia for the explanation, thanks for watching.
