HFF everyone.

HFF everyone.
This memorial was commissioned in 2005 by Whitby Civic Society who wanted a memorial to seamen which would be both practical and decorative. It takes the form of galvanised steel gates which incorporate a design of a modern trawler alongside a ship from Capatain Cook's era. In the centre there is a motif of a landed catch.
This replaced the original storm gates which close off the West Pier during stormy weather.

As far as I know they have been there for at least 10 years. But I don't live nearby.
