Whitby Harbour Dock End

This is one of 40 views given away free with Wood-Milne Shoeshiners at three shillings four and a half pence a tin; what a lovely peaceful scene. The boats in the foreground are square sterned cobles , and one double ender with lug sail hoisted; a larger schooner is tied up to the quay. Across the harbour is St Michael’s Church, other ancient buildings along the harbourside were all demolished, as was the Angel Vaults on Dock End.
