Whitby is a seaside town in Yorkshire, northern England, split by the River Esk. On the East Cliff, overlooking the North Sea, the ruined Gothic Whitby Abbey was Bram Stoker’s inspiration for “Dracula”. Nearby is the Church of St. Mary, reached by 199 steps. The Captain Cook Memorial Museum, in the house where Cook once lived, displays paintings and maps. West of town is West Cliff Beach, lined with beach huts.
Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Borough of Scarborough and English county of North Yorkshire. It is located within the historic boundaries of the North Riding of Yorkshire. Situated on the east coast of Yorkshire at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has an established maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived.
Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed further on the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by its proximity to the high ground of the North York Moors National Park, its Heritage Coastline and by its association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally. Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th century.
The earliest record of a permanent settlement is in 656, when as Streanæshealh it was the place where Oswy, the Christian king of Northumbria, founded the first abbey, under the abbess Hilda. The Synod of Whitby was held there in 664. In 867, the monastery was destroyed by Viking raiders. Another monastery was founded in 1078. It was in this period that the town gained its current name, Whitby (from white settlement in Old Norse). In the following centuries Whitby functioned as a fishing settlement until, in the 18th century, it developed as a port and centre for shipbuilding and whaling, the trade in locally mined alum, and the manufacture of Whitby jet jewellery.
The abbey ruin at the top of the East Cliff is the town's oldest and most prominent landmark. Other significant features include the swing bridge, which crosses the River Esk and the harbour, which is sheltered by the grade II listed East and West piers. The town's maritime heritage is commemorated by statues of Captain Cook and William Scoresby, as well as the whalebone arch that sits at the top of the West Cliff. The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.

Will Captain Cook statue in Hyde Park be removed like some in USA?
America is in the grip of politically correct madness and SJWs are vandalizing and removing Confederate statues, so it's worth recording this one of Captain James Cook in Sydney's Hyde Park. I won't be surprised if there's a concerted campaign to have it removed.
Captain Cook Statue In Whitby To Be Restored Ahead Of Summer Celebrations
Ahead of Whitby's Captain Cook celebrations later this year, his statue in the West Cliff area of the town will be restored.
Having stood overlooking the North Sea and Whitby Harbour for over one hundred years, Scarborough Borough Council have announced work will be done imminently.

Captain Cook's replica ship arrives in Whitby.

Whitby and Robinhoods Bay Great Britain
Whitby is een plaats in het bestuurlijke gebied Scarborough, in het Engelse graafschap North Yorkshire. De plaats telt 13.740 inwoners.
De plaats is bekend geworden door een aantal hoogtepunten in de geschiedenis en literatuur. Zo is de ontdekkingsreiziger James Cook verbonden met Whitby. Er staat dan ook een standbeeld van hem in de stad.
Whitby bestaat al heel lang. In de Angelsaksische tijd (rond 657) was het reeds een nederzetting. Het was in die jaren een kenniscentrum. De eerste voorbeelden van geschreven Engelse literatuur. De dichter Cædmon is verbonden met Whitby Abbey.
Whitby is altijd belangrijk gebleven. De resten van Whitby Abbey en St. Mary's Church getuigen van de grootsheid vanaf de Angelsaksische periode tot aan het begin van de 20e eeuw.
Een belangrijke bron van inkomsten in de 19e en 20e eeuw was de visserij, met name de walvisvaart. In de literatuur komt Whitby voor in Bram Stoker's beroemde werk Dracula. Whitby was de haven van aankomst voor de graaf. En zoals genoemd daarvoor in Caedmons gedichten komt het voor. Uiteraard wordt Whitby vermeld in de boeken over de ontdekkingsreiziger James Cook.
Een ander boek dat in Whitby speelt is Michel Faber's The Hundred and Ninety Nine Steps. Dit laatste komt van het aantal treden van de trap/het pad tussen de stad en het hoger gelegen complex van Whitby Abbey en St. Mary's Church.
Huidige tijd:
De tijd van walvisvaart is verleden tijd. Er is nog wel steeds een vissersvloot die vis en krab vangt op de Noordzee. Verder moet Whitby het hebben van toeristen. Als kustplaats is het geliefd bij Engelse gezinnen voor een vakantie of een dagje uit: slenteren langs de haven en kust, het strand, het Dracula Museum en uiteraard mag de wandeling (met 199 traptreden) naar de abdij niet ontbreken.
In de winkeltjes in de stad worden lokale producten verkocht: het diepzwarte Whitby Jet - verwerkt in sieraden; mooi opgemaakte krabben, verse vis en natuurlijk hebben diverse lokale kunstenaars zich in Whitby gevestigd
De haven vormt (letterlijk) het hart van de stad: het riviertje de Esk deelt de stad in tweeën. De beide oevers zijn verbonden door een oude draaibrug die slechts zeer beperkt geopend kan worden voor de scheepvaart. Alleen van een uur voor tot een uur na hoogwater staat er voldoende water om schepen door te laten. De meeste vissersbootjes liggen aan de zee-zijde van de brug voor anker (droogvallend behalve een gebaggerde vaargeul). Voorbij de brug is een kleine jachthaven en een loskade voor coasters. Ook hier valt het grootste deel droog bij laag water. Alleen een paar steigers van de jachthaven en bij de kade blijft voldoende water staan. Om de vaargeul op diepte te houden werkt er permanent een klein baggerschip dat de modder opgraaft en vervolgens net buiten de pieren weer in zee stort
Whitby is a village in the Scarborough district of North Yorkshire, England. The town has 13,740 inhabitants. The place is known for a number of highlights in the history and literature. Thus, the Explorer James Cook connected to Whitby. There is also a statue of him in the city. Whitby has been around for very long. In the Anglo-Saxon time (around 657) was already a settlement. It was in those years a knowledge centre. The first examples of written English literature. The poet Cædmon is connected to Whitby Abbey. Whitby is always important. The remains of Whitby Abbey and St. Mary's Church bear witness to the greatness from the Anglo-Saxon period to the beginning of the 20th century. A major source of income in the 19th and 20th centuries was fishing, especially the whaling. In the literature is Bram Stoker's Dracula in Whitby for famous work. Whitby was the port of arrival for the count
The time of whaling is a thing of the past. There is still a fishing fleet which fish and crab catches in the North Sea. Furthermore, Whitby having tourists. As coastal, it is loved by English families for a holiday or a day out: strolling along the port and coast, the beach, the Dracula Museum and of course the walk (staircase with 199 steps) to the Abbey. In the shops in the city are selling local products: the deep black Whitby Jet-processed in jewelry; nicely formatted crabs, fresh fish and of course various local artists in Whitby established the port is (literally) the heart of the city: the River Esk divides the city in two. Both banks are connected by an old swing bridge that only very limited can be opened for shipping. Only from one hour before to one hour after high tide, there is plenty of water to ships to pass through.

19th April 1770: Captain Cook Sights Australia
Or at least that’s what the log of HMS Endeavour said. The problem was, Cook and his crew had been at sea for nearly 2 years, having sailed west from Britain across the Atlantic to South America, and then onwards across the southern Pacific. By the time they arrived on the south-east coast of Australia, they had – in a calendar – skipped a day. According to some sources, therefore, Cook arrived in Australia on April 20th.
Irrespective of whether we use the ship’s log or the modern calendar to record the date, the voyage of the Endeavour was significant for being the first European voyage to reach the east coast of Australia. After sighting land, however, it was another ten days before the crew actually stepped ashore. The first sighting had been of Point Hicks, but it wasn’t until the ship had travelled some distance along the coast to what is now known as Botany Bay that Cook and his crew felt they had found a suitable mooring.
Botany Bay is now a major transportation hub, since it is home to Sydney’s cargo seaport and two runways of Sydney airport. However, for many years the name Botany Bay conjured up different images of transportation since Botany Bay had been the first proposed site for a British penal colony.

Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised English poet, lived. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula.

The town also has a strong literary tradition and has featured in literary works, television and cinema, most famously in Bram Stoker's novel Dracula.
While Whitby's cultural and historical heritage contribute to the local economy, the town does suffer from the economic constraints of its remote location, ongoing changes in the fishing industry, relatively underdeveloped transport infrastructure, and limitations on available land and property. As a result, tourism and some forms of fishing remain the mainstay of its economy. It is the closest port to a proposed wind farm development in the North Sea, 47 miles (76 km) from York and 22 miles (35 km) from Middlesbrough. There are transport links to the rest of North Yorkshire and North East England, primarily through national rail links to Middlesbrough and road links to Teesside, via both the A171 and A174, and Scarborough by the former. As at 2011, the town had a population of 13,213.
Уи́тби (англ. Whitby) — город в английском графстве Норт-Йоркшир, Великобритания. Расположен на восточном побережье Британии у дельты реки Эск. Был основан нортумбрийским королём Освиу в 656 году, в IX веке разорён викингами, построившими на его месте деревню. Окончательно возродился лишь после нормандского завоевания. В XVIII столетии город стал центром рыболовного промысла, судостроения и добычи минералов (квасцов и гагата), вследствие чего начал быстро развиваться. На сегодняшний день основной статьёй доходов Уитби является туризм. По данным переписи 2001 года, в городе проживало чуть более 13,5 тысяч человек.
