Around Hartlepool Harbour

We had a late start, followed by a late breakfast in the local Wetherspoons. We wandered around the shopping centre and market before going to the Hartlepool Maritime Experience. Here they have the fully restored HMS Trincomalee, built in 1817 in India. She has lots of small spaces down in the bilges to explore. This was followed by the Museum of Hartlepool which tells the story of how Hartlepool has changed and developed over the centuries. 

Lunch was a simple cheese, biscuits, olives with a glass of red wine in the cockpit, in the bright sunshine, watching the boats go by.
