OTD in 1940, the SS White Toff was stranded off North Cheek at Robin Hoods Bay in dense fog, at 4.20pm Whitby's RNLB Mary Ann Hepworth was launched with Coxswain Murfield at the helm and rescued the crew of 15 persons returning safely to Port at 7.15pm.

Did you know that Captain Cook took carrot marmalade on his voyages which he gave to the crew to help prevent scurvy? Delicious and nutritious! #cookmuseumwhitby #carrots #healthyfood #learning #education

The different names of #Whitby: 1: #Streoneshalh Saxon for lighthouse bay or tower bay. This name created the belief that the Romans had a fort in the town.
