At this time of year we are surrounded by our families at what is undoubtedly a time to cherish, however it is easy to forget those serving in the armed forces , separated from their family and loved ones. I recently read of a charity uk4u-Thanks set up in 2005, to provide Christmas gift boxes as 'a gift from the nation' to all those serving in the forces overseas away from their families. It's mission statement is to deliver festive cheer to our forces risking their lives on our behalf at Christmas. I hope you felt encouraged to contribute to this charity.

Representing my passion for diving, this part of my new site still retains elements from my original website. With accurate GPS co-ordinates and brief information for popular wrecks off Whitby. |
Many people recognise my main passion today as the hospital ship Rohilla which was lost in tragic circumstances in 1914. The wreck site is possibly the most frequently dived wreck off Yorkshire. |

The William Riley was one of six lifeboats involved when the hospital ship Rohilla was lost. The former lifeboat was found in a derelict state and returned to Whitby for restoration |
With its unique maritime heritage Whitby has every reason to be proud of its lifeboat station and her crew. The photograph above was taken during a recent cheque presentation. |
