The Artist

Staithes is a seaside village in North Yorkshire, England. Roxby Beck (a small river) runs through it. Formerly a productive fishing centre, Staithes is now largely a tourist destination and is frequented by many artists. In 1745-1746, the young Captain James Cook worked in Staithes as a grocer's apprentice where he first gained his passion for the sea.
