A SAIL training ship, which was specially built for disabled and able-bodied crew, docked in Scarborough Harbour.
The Lord Nelson sailed into the harbour from Scheveningen, in Holland, for a night’s berth and is due to leave this afternoon for Hartlepool.
The tall ship paid its first visit to Scarborough at the request of fisherman Fred Normandale and Colin Woodhead, director of Woodheads Bakery, who are sailing on the vessel.
The ship, which was built in 1986, is run by the Jubilee Sailing Trust and based in Southampton.
She has 40 able-bodied and disabled voyage crew and 11 permanent crew.
Mr Normandale, who has volunteered on the ship for 11 years, said: “The ship is awesome and gives everyone a better understanding of other people’s abilities.
“It changes people’s lives.”
