Sea Stories

Sea Stories is an oral history project from Whitby Marine Discovery Centre, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. We’re capturing the memories, experiences and everyday stories of people connected with fishing and life at sea, preserving them for future generations.

Follow the project's story below!

Every Voice. Every Story. One Living Archive.

You can now record your very own Sea Story from home, in your own time and in your own words. Whether you have memories of working at sea, fishing, or simply growing up around the coast, we’d love to hear your story.
