Born just thirty miles from Whitby, a certain James Cook moved to Staithes at the age of 16 to work as a grocer’s apprentice and where he got his love of the sea and adventure. To this day Captain Cook remains synonymous with Whitby Town and the two will always go together, for without Whitby, there may never have been a Captain Cook. |
