PORTRAIT OF HARWICH
HISTORIC MAYFLOWER VOYAGE MARKED BY NEW FILM ON ITS HOMETOWN.
In November 1620 the Mayflower, with its 100 passengers, made landfall after a gruelling 10-week voyage across the Atlantic . Among those passengers was a group of Puritans seeking a safer life in the New World. They became known as the Pilgrim Fathers.
The Mayflower and its Master, Christopher Jones, were from Harwich in Essex and four hundred years later a new film on this ancient seaport is about to be released.
PORTRAIT OF HARWICH is the latest production by local film maker and former BBC television Hi De Hi Yellowcoat, David Webb. It follows the highly successful Walton's secret water, which portrays life on the Walton Backw...

Harwich Guy Carnival
Просмотров 2119 лет назад
The Guy Carnival started over 150 years ago in 1854 when workers at the Royal Naval Shipyard (Harwich Dock) and builders on the new quay decided to commemorate their work by holding a procession, but similar to a public demonstration, It was then called the Shipwrights Carnival and was led in those early days by torch bearers. www.harwichanddovercourt.co.uk

    When the Uboats surrendered outside Harwich in 1919, an overwrought German officer, said to a British petty officer. I will tell you what l think about you and your British flag. He then spat viciously into the sea. The Britisher made no retort. Angrier than before, the German spat again into the sea, saying "Thats is what l think of you and your Beatty! Our man looked at him for a moment, Then he replied quietly: l sympathise with your feelings as a Hun. But don't spit in our sea.

    Confused video here. As far as I'm aware there has never been a passenger train ferry from Harwich. There was a ferry to Flushing at some time but this wasn't a train ferry. The only train ferry service to the best of my knowledge have been freight only train ferry services to either Zeebrugge or Dunkirk. The ferry departing in this video is not departing the Harwich TF terminal and is neither any of the Train Ferry 1, 2 or 3, nor the Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex, Cambridge or Speedlink Vanguard. It looks like the Shepperton Ferry to me and as far as I'm aware she never operated out of Harwich, being mainly Dover based.

      Nice shots, but the commentary is very inaccurate! Harwich train ferries only carried 12 passengers and never in sleeping cars! The Night Ferry service was Dover-Dunkirk

    • @oldgit1943
      @oldgit1943 4 года назад

      They did allow passengers, we took our car on holiday via Zeebrugge several times in the early sixties. I think the limit was 11 people.We ate in the officer's mess and the cabins were similar to the Arnhem and Amsterdam. The only down side was you never knew when she was going to sail!

    Did the Harwich train ferry ever take "sleeper coaches"? The Dover train ferries did, but I believe Harwich train ferries were restricted to about six passengers per voyage -- and none if there was hazardous cargo aboard.

      @MrDel1408 8 лет назад

      I thought the same the minute I saw it, I don't believe it's correct that passengers went with the train, as you said limited to the amount of passengers they could carry

    • @glpilpi6209
      @glpilpi6209 Год назад

      There wasn't any passenger trains in the 70s loaded like that. The " boat " trains all finished at Parkeston ( Harwich International ) to join the ship's tied up at the Quay .
