A master class in seamanship from the skipper of potting boat Tradition as the vessel is navigated expertly to the calm and safe waters of Bridlington Harbour after a voyage out on the rough seas this morning.

The fishing boat tradition navigates into the safety of Bridlington Harbour during heavy seas.


Paul Winchester, who filmed this dramatic video, was taking his daily walk when he spotted the former trawler picking her way through the heavy swell and breaking high tide waters of the North Sea.


Tradition now works the seas after being converted to a potting boat – fishing for crab and lobster off the east coast.

    Lived here for many years yet have’nt seen that. An emotional moment for me watching this. One individual managing themselves in their “everyday work”, indeed, these are a courageous breed they are.

    Capt Cook would have been pleased to have him at the helm.

    There is a superb photograph in the harbour office of a trawler making the starboard turn on her beam ends. That one is dramatic!
