Valiant : Sighted in Whitby, October 2015
In October 2015, whist on holiday in Whitby, I came across this grand good sized yacht built in 1931. There's nothing about her on the internet and so I'm delighted to be able to share a couple of photographs I took from a road bridge astern of her. I've looked up a little of her owner history, more to follow...She was originally a schooner.
