A pic from a couple of month back, had a snotty day at sea so took the kids to the captain cook museum and park, in the background you can see whitby abbey, the beach below the cliffs is where bram stokers Dracula first made shore. The wooden structure they're against is reference to the bygone whaling industry long since gone

I was just about as old as your son when we lived there. That weather is just how I remember it.

Good lookin younguns mouldy

Got their daddy's good looks I've yet to meet him...

We get sun aswell sometimes

Does the milkman still deliver?

Regular as clockwork, never seems to leave no milk though

One of the many carvings from Pannett park in whitby, I remember when I was a kid going here to the museum and seeing the shrunken heads which have now been removed from display as I understand

Great photo. Been to that museum several times.
My Grandpa from just north of Hull on my dad’s side always said we were distant relative descendants of Captain Cook

Of note, all six of Sir Captain James Cook’s children tragically died before having children of their own.

Great picture.

My family (or part of) were from sandsend and the surrounding area, we moor our boat whitby. I feel a great connection roaming the coastline and old mine workings here. I also have roots in vast parts of Yorkshire and wales, also have family somewhere in America that left for the gold rush back into he 1800's and family in the Bahamas...somehow!?

Cool stuff!

So I'm not a doctor or anything, but how could you be a descendant of a man whose children never had children?

Exactly; and I asked my Grandpa the same question. He said we are descended from the captain's father ( Captain James Cook had seven siblings)

If that is the case, then you would be a distant relative, but not a descendant.
