You can read books, but you won’t understand what it feels like to live on a ship. Small mysteries unravelled the more I lived it - @natasha_pulley on her @ATYLA_ship experience #Encounters250 #Cook250Whitby

Brilliant to hear live music performed at Whitby’s Bandstand today. It should be used more often. On a day like today when ‘sun is shining in the sky’, visitors and locals alike were thrilled to listen to music, relax and watch the world go by @Cook250whitby ☀️🎶⛴🚤

“A lot of our own stories are papered over. People feel frustrated at that after 250 years, history is still a little out of balance. I feel excited to be bringing a Pacific perspective into this weekend. These anniversary moments serve a real educational function” - @Ahilapalapa
