Dubbed 'the smallest manned navy in the world', the Peasholm battleships are much-loved and have been reenacting battles for almost 100 years. However, earlier this year before Covid restrictions had been lifted, the boats were given a refurb whilst in storage at Scarborough Council' s depot. These photos show the boats as you've never seen them before, out of the water and undergoing maintenance. The Battle of Peasholm Park - better known as Naval Warfare - returns on July 22 and takes place every Monday, Thursday and Saturday at 3pm in July and August.
