In aid of Seafarers UK

One of the many things I love about Dartmouth is the general feel of the place. Even when there’s nothing much going on. When there’s an event the feel always seems to be friendly, relaxed. The views are to die for, there’s so much to look at. This collection of photos shows the general background to the Shanty Festival. Included are shots of Kingswear Castle. The last, steam driven, paddle steamer operating regular service in tidal waters, Fairmile, a restored RAF Air Sea Rescue boat from WWII, she also runs regular trips, and last but not least a procession of classic craft in the Dart.
