Shellfish, Shellfish and more Three
Shellfish!
Brothers
Written by Jake T
Did you know that Bridlington’s shellfish port is
the largest in the whole of England? However, the
port in Fraserburgh, Scotland is the biggest port in
Europe. Bridlington keeps its shellfish fresh and
alive in a ‘hot tub’ like container full of water.
These then supplies local restaurants and some
are even sent abroad to other countries. The port
is so important because it provides food and
allows people in the area to have a stable job.

The Three brothers
was built in 1912 by
Baker Sidall. It was
restored in 2013 with
help from the Harbour
Commission.
It’s now a wonderful
fishing cobble.
Help Me Out!
Written by Abigail W
Bridlington has its very own boat
hoist in the harbour. It lifts
boats out of the harbour so that
boatmen can repair, repaint and
fix their own boats.
Family Fun
Written by Edward H
The harbour is a fun place to go for families. There are three main family
boats, the two speedboats and the pirate ship. The pirate ship is an
amazing boat taking you around Bridlington on a swash buckling
adventure. The speedboats are bright orange, bright yellow and they
usually go around 70 mph. They’re ranked 93% out of 100% (Trip advisor)
‘I took my 5 year old on the speedboat ride. He loved it, great value for
money too’ - Jamie J (Trip Advisor)
Fabulous Food
Written by Benson W
The harbour has some great food. There are

something you fancy here’ quoted a
passer-by.
