A day trip on M.V. Coronia from Scarborough to Whitby and back in July 1997 

Thanks for sharing, very fond memories of the Coronia and Regal lady. I did the Scarborough to Whitby run in 2001 , it got very bad weather from Robin Hoods bay to Whitby . From Whitby back to Scarborough it was foggy and big waves , poor old Coronia got thrown side to side..loads of passengers lost their dinners over the side ! Not me , I loved it !. I have moved to Scarborough now and the Coronia is long gone and her sister ship the Regal lady is moored up as a cafe, not to be sailed as a pleasure cruiser again..... very sad . Most people who have been on these historic vessels will know that they saved over 3000 lives between them over 7 days continuous running back and forth to Dunkirk .

Many thanks for the memories. It was a great shame that this trip had to be ended, by an EU directive, I believe. "Coronia" was originally "Yorkshire Lady" and was one of the "little ships" joining the evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940 where many British and French lives were saved. It's a beautifully shot and edited film (unless video quality was really that good in 1991) and thanks again for sharing.
