@jadesharp1992 @stephenfry It's a photo of the TV guide with a description of a programme. Stephen has underlined and drawn an arrow to an error in the date of the release of the programme which says 2023.

Wonderful project moving forward for #HMSUnicorn #HistoricShip

We're moving into the next phase of our project to move Unicorn and create a world-class museum in Dundee's East Graving Dock, and we need a Project Officer to help! If you think you'd like to get involved, see the job advert on our website here: https://t.co/GJiv48tHVp

Earlier this year the @guardian placed us among ten UK attractions where guides bring history to life. We're proud of our staff who also received a @VisitEngland Welcome Award nomination this year! Have you visited recently? #Grimsby #DaysOut https://t.co/omRv2Jo7ZT

Seeing kids out playing in the #rain like it's something new and special. I think it must now be the new #snow... #globalwarming 😜

Our guides and former skippers, Bob Formby and Dennis Avery at today's @FestivalofSea. Each with 50yr careers at sea they have 100yrs of sea time between them! Speaking to visitors, net making and mending and giving tours of historic #RossTiger today. #Grimsby #Culture #Heritage

So good to catch up with former Ross Tiger guide, Syd, recently! Syd retired 5 years ago but spent many years bringing Ross Tiger to life for our visitors. Now 83, Syd fished many years from both #Grimsby and his home town of #Hull.

Our original builder's model of #SSNarkunda. Designed shortly after #Titanic sank by her shipbuilders, #HarlandandWolff, #Belfast. Notice additional inner row of boats and rails to slide under the boat davits. Safety is now more important than a cluttered sun deck.
