Grand Turk Update
The Grand Turk having over wintered in Whitby, The Master, Captain Ian Mcdougal states that they have re-registered the ship, making Whitby its Home Port. It was previously registered in London. This of cause is wonderful news for the people and visitors to Whitby, as she will now return annually to Whitby to over -winter. The Grand Turk departs the Yorkshire Coast at the end of March for its Summer Tour 2004, arriving back in Scarborough in late July hopefully in time for "The Seafest".
