Silt settles

In repeated ripples and waves

True Love

In 1847 Memiadluk and Uckaluk arrived in Hull aboard the Truelove, a local whaling ship.

Visitors from Greenland

In 1847 Captain John Parker brought a couple back from the Nyatlick in the Cumberland Straits to Hull on the 'Truelove'. The couple called Memiadluk and Uckaluk were brought to England to highlight the poor conditions in their homeland and after arriving in Hull they took part in talks in Manchester and York.

Before their departure plaster casts were made of their heads as well as the head of Captain Parker and these are now displayed in the Hull Maritime Museum. Memiadluk and Uckaluk were given a variety of gifts by their hosts before they left but unfortunately on the return journey to Cumberland South Uckaluk died after there was an outbreak of Measles on board.

The sculpture is at the approach to the tidal surge barrier on the west side of the River Hull

The confluence where the River Hull meets the River Humber as the sun sets.

River levels were high and Hull’s tidal barrier was lowered to protect the city.

The city of Hull developed from a settlement called “Wyke”, a creek where the River Hull enters the River Humber.

Another Day Another Dollar!

Another day, another dollar.  What seems like an endless ‘groundhog day’ is only separated by brief moments.  Lunchtimes, home time, we make sure we make the most of every last minute.  Our town has so many little back alleys and little snickets you can wander around forever and never come across the same place twice.  I discovered all of these little places just on my lunch hour.

Its is amazing…
