Having chosen St George's Day to attempt to gain entry to the town, King Charles I is refused admittance by Sir John Hotham.

Thoroughly enjoyed supporting the New Researchers in Maritime History Conference this afternoon at the Hull History Centre

Delegates received a Maritime Tour of Hull lead by Sam Wright before a key note delivered by Robb Robinson titled “Interrogating a Ghost Ship of Grytviken”
