Whitby the ancient port clings to its jet trade past
Old Whitby on the North Sea coast retains a centuries old atmosphere with narrow crooked streets and a parish church at St Mary’s. Once a major shipbuilding and Greenland whaling hub, the town now hosts a small craft harbor, dwindling jet and alum industries, and a revived but fragile crab and tobaco trade as fisherfolk keep traditions alive amid economic change.
