Bessie Ellen - Whitehaven to Liverpool

Passage making from Whitehaven to Liverpool

Classic Journey under Sail

Step back in time and sail a ship that once plied cargoes around Europe. You can escape all the usual holiday resorts in peak summer holidays and sign up for a 'hands on' adventure as crew on Bessie Ellen.

This is a great training voyage at a decent time of year for those wanting to learn some coastal navigation or get some watch keeping experience as there are many fishing boats to avoid and tidal streams to help work out.

This short passage is a good taster, or mile builder, or just an excuse to get onto the water on a vintage wooden vessel.
