Whitby is a historic town in
North Yorkshire on the north-east coast of
England. Nowadays it is a
fishing port and tourist destination. It is situated 47 miles from
York, at 54 deg. 29 min. 24 sec. north
latitude, and 35 min. 59 sec. west
longitude, at the mouth of the
River Esk and spreads up the steep sides of the narrow valley carved out by the river's course. At this point the coast curves round, so the town faces more north than east.
