My greatx4 grandfather was reputedly at 'Baffin Fair' in 1830. Here's a song I wrote about The Diana, the last whaler to sail from Hull, that got icebound for months in 1866:

Just want to heartily recommend 'Icebound' to everyone and encourage those within travelling distance to get along to hear it - it's a truly amazing story, excellently told by The Roaring Forties
