Whitby is a historic seaside town and port situated on the North Yorkshire coast of England, where the River Esk meets the North Sea. The town is known for its maritime heritage, having been an important fishing port and shipbuilding center since medieval times.
Whitby's cultural significance extends to its literary connections, most notably as a setting in Bram Stoker's "Dracula," with the atmospheric ruins of Whitby Abbey perched dramatically on the East Cliff. The town has a rich history in the jet industry, a black fossilized wood that was popularly carved into Victorian mourning jewelry.
Today, Whitby maintains its historical character through its well-preserved architecture, narrow cobbled streets, and fishing harbor, while also serving as a cultural center with various museums showcasing its maritime, geological, and literary heritage.
