Whitby's Captain Cook Museum to host Voyaging Into The Ice talk

A look at the intrepid sailors of Whitby from Cook to Scoresby will feature in a forthcoming talk at Whitby’s Captain Cook Memorial Museum.

Voyaging Into The Ice, by museum volunteer Dennis Buck, takes a look at the sailors who have dared to journey to the Arctic waters on voyages of exploration, voyages of scientific experimentation and commercial discovery.

The event, which takes place on Thursday March 6 from 2pm to 3pm, is free, but availability is limited so anyone interested should book online.

Later in the month, the museum on Grape Lane hosts a free art demonstration with artist-in-residence Claudia Quayle, with a series of watercolour classes which people can book online.
