From WhitbyÕs 199 steps on East Cliff in the historical quarter towards the river Esk and West Cliff on the opposite shore with its small fishing port and the north sea in Whitby in North Yorkshire, Britain. Whitby, a seaside town and small fishing port is on the north Yorkshire coast, facing the North Sea. Whitby is associated with Royal Navy Captain James Cook, voyager and discoverer of Australia where he learned his seamanship in the harbour, the horror novel of Dracula and the famous Whitby Jet black and alum found in the surrounding cliffs.
