Visitors to Whitby undoubtedly enjoy the fine views, the great food, the Gothic connection and the historic Yards that seem hidden around every corner of this ancient town. However, I wonder if tourists even suspect that down one of these Yards, several centuries ago, one man was learning skills that would eventually change the map of the world...
Yorkshire's most famous seafarer is undoubtedly Captain James Cook, whose best-known achievement was the discovery of Australia. As a teenager, he was apprenticed to a Whitby shipowner, John Walker, in whose house his apprentices lived when not serving at sea on Walker's colliers (coal ships).
Cook's most famous ship, the Endeavour, was built in a Whitby shipyard, and today Cook's achievements are recognised by the Captain Cook Memorial Museum, which is located in Grape Street, in the house Cook lived in as an apprentice.
A more tangible reminder of Cook's achievements can often be found in Whitby's harbour, particularly during the winter. The Grand Turk is a replica of an 18th century warship - a man o' war. Although she was built in Turkey, her home port is Whitby and it is here that she returns each winter. While in Whitby, the Grand Turk is open to the public each day, and you may find you recognise her - she has proved something of a media star since her launch in 1997, and perhaps most famously appeared as the frigate "HMS Indefatigable", in the Hornblower TV series.
If you haven't explored the historic old town of Whitby, you're missing out on a real treat. What else lies hidden in its maze of Yards and tumbling red roofs, I wonder?
