Avast ye Monkeys!

Willy and Rudi decide to travel all the way to Hartlepool where, legend has it, a monkey was once hanged.  Thankfully, no one is quite sure so we like to think it never actually happened.  Instead, let’s enjoy spending some time with a real piece of history, HMS Trincomalee.  Built in 1817, this is one of the oldest ships still afloat in Europe.  Find more at https://www.nmrn.org.uk/our-museums/national-museum-royal-navy-hartlepool

It gives the Travelling Monkeys a chance to see what life in the navy was like almost 200 years ago when pirates sailed the seas.
