Nutty ,
Give my apologies to Tony - I don't come home from Norway til 25th
I imagine the craic will be good ,(I can do without jazz bands though).
A lot of people associate Capt.James Cook with Whitby , but Staithes is where he "cut his teeth" taking coal boats down to London.
On your link there's a picture of the terraced cottage where he used to live . Just an ordinary man ? One of the most remarkable in British History I'd say .

Cheers,
Betsy.
