Don't forget that Tuna fishing was a popular sport off Whitby and Scarborough back in the 1920's.

We had a Leatherback Turtle in the Blackwater last year South Woodham Coastguard tasked to save Leatherback turtle in Maylandsea

I have a unique ability to miss these wildlife sightings. Apart from some dolphins in foreign, ie not E Coast, waters, and seals locally, I get the feeling that I am very unobservant.
Turtle soup is delicious, but in my defence I would say that it must be sixty years since I had it.

I'm pretty sure that it would have been The Bell at Aston Clinton, in Buckinghamshire. Back in the '50s it was one of the few decent eating-places on that side of London and it had a famous cellar. It was about a 40 mins drive from home and we would go there once or twice a year. We went there after we married and I remember having a proper gourmet meal with wine for about £4/10/-. We used to entertain my in-laws on alternate years there and on the last occasion in the '60s I paid about £10-12 for the four of us. The following year they paid about £30 in Surrey in return and we decided that eating out posh was no longer fun.

I must be more specific... I was asking of Nauti Fox...

I didn’t see any landmarks I could recognise.
They seem to have American accents.
