A rather rough sea but the jetty is clearly visible with the big crane ’Jumbo’ waiting to brought into action. Taken from Skinningrove village.

SS Cattersty moored at Skinningrove jetty. This boat was one of four owned by Skinningrove Iron Works to take Pig Iron to its various customers around the UK – and eventually to Europe. The other boats were named SS Hummersea, SS Northgate and SS Skinningrove.

A photo that speaks for itself, SS Hummersea berthed at Skinningrove jetty.

However we have an update from Alf Hannaford:I don’t know if this is the original S.S. Hummersea but there was a ship of that name sunk in December 1915. It is still unsure how she sank but could have been by enemy mine or she floundered in bad weather. My great great uncle, Charles F. Hannaford, died from injuries sustained on 30th December 1915 and was listed as a casualty of war.” Thanks to Alf for that update.

An interesting view of Cattersty Beach and the Jetty beyond, viewed from the cliffs, west of Skinningrove works.

A lovely picture showing how the jetty separates the beaches at Skinningrove, with Huntcliffe in the background. The road leads to Hummersea, North Terrace and Boulby eventually after many twists and turns. At one time this was the only way into Skinningrove from Loftus

A change to have a coloured view of the works, the sea and the surrounding countryside, taken from the east of Skinningrove.
