  • Summary

  • In this episode we hear all about the rich and long maritime history of the English port of Hull. Dr Sam Willis spoke with Sam Wright, a tour guide of historic Hull as well as a researcher working on a PhD relating to the historical activities of the marine classification society Lloyd's Register in Hull. The port has more than 800 years of maritime history to explore with a fantastic amount of surviving artefacts, building and infrastructure from the nationally significant historic ship Arctic Corsair to the North End Shipyard and Spurn Lightship and the magnificent merchant’s home Blaydes House. Sam has been charting the relationship between Lloyd's Register and Hull, looking in particular at their interactions with the Wilson Line, one of Hull’s major maritime firms and its work on distant-water trawlers, one of Hull’s key maritime industries.
