Captain Peter Simpson (16/5/1937 to 16/5/2024) was a valued member of the Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre for over a decade. He helped with the refurbishment of 45 Eastborough and was a weekly volunteer and a valued trustee. He was always kind and friendly, sharing his knowledge and advice. He wrote his memoirs about his working life history that can be seen in our Centre or downloaded here . They give us an amazing insight into life in the Merchant Navy. From the Graham Sea Training School, Peter learnt his trade and progressed through the ranks, visiting ports all over the world. He will be sadly missed by us all.
