What the Sea Saw celebrates the heritage of fishing along the East Yorkshire coast, particularly in communities in Scarborough and Staithes, and captures the memories of the fishing community from the 1950s to the present day. The project, in partnership with Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre and Staithes Museum, reflects this fishing heritage in a series of events in Scarborough and Staithes, including an audio trail inspired by oral histories, archive film, workshops in schools, and a final performance event, combining stories and sea shanties sung by local choirs.
The project is produced by Digital Drama and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to the National Lottery players.
