A view along the River Esk that makes us rub our eyes. A glimpse here of looking into the past, back to 1768 in fact and seeing Captain Cooks ship: The Endeavour, being kitted out for its epic sail to Australia and New Zealand. This is in fact a full scale replica having been built in 1993 and towed here from Middlesbrough in 2017. It now houses the 'Edeavour Experience' museum. (A similar full size sailing counterpart resides in Australia.) The bridge in the foreground is the famous swing road bridge.
See next photo for opened bridge.
