Portsmouth Harbour or Peasholm Harbour?
Wednesday 20th May 2015
Found myself back at Peasholm Park, Scarborough today. Took my grandson to see the young goslings, although he liked them, he really wanted to see the swans and cygnets. To see them we had to go onto Peasholm Island and rounding a corner he suddenly yelled, "Boats". There in the shelter of Peasholm Harbour were an ocean liner, an oil tanker, three battleships and a submarine! You would find these in Portsmouth, but surely not in Scarborough? These are not ordinary boats, they are manned, scale models for taking part in the 'Peasholm Park Naval Warfare' which has taken place on the lake for over eighty years. It is a great spectacle and is performed during June, July and August, three days a week. The bridge and funnels of the liner are missing - removed for access!
