A rare & unusual old photograph showing sailing ships being built or repaired at the Whitehall shipyard on the river Esk at , Whitby, North Yorkshire (UK) during the Victorian period. White Hall, or Whitehall (still standing in 2020) was the home of the shipyard owner, Thomas Turbull. The two gable ends of the building (top left) can be seen in the picture. A collier (coal ship) selling coal to the public is moored on the other side of the river close to where the Co-op store carpark and marina are situated today (2020)
