Scarborough to Whitby Vintage Lifeboat Row

On Saturday 1st August make your way to Scarborough Harbour to cheer on the rowers of the Scarborough to Whitby vintage lifeboat row.

They plan to depart at 1.30pm on a 17 miles row to Whitby. Weather permitting they should arrive in Whitby 5 hours later, approx. 6.30 pm where crowds will be waiting to greet them after their backbreaking toil!

The 100 year old lifeboat - ""William Riley of Birmingham and Leamington"" - arrived in Scarborough Harbour last night from Whitby at around 20.00.
