The Whitby Rebels

In Whitby Harbour, in the summer of 1991, something extraordinary happened. A humble pleasure boat set sail for the Arctic, crewed by misfits, pensioners and the vicar for Egton and Grossmont. The mission? To erect a plaque on a volcanic island hundreds of miles north of Iceland.
The boat was illegal, the crew untrained and the planunhinged!

A joyful, (mostly) true story of British eccentricity and determination!

A right little crackersavagely funny (The Guardian)
Snappy and subversive (The Stage)
