Welcome to Hartlepool!  Tues 10 August 2010.  Hartlepool is home to two historic ships, paddle steamer Wingfield Castle and Royal Navy frigate HMS Trincomalee.  Wingfield Castle was built for the LNER in 1934 at Hartlepool for the Hull - New Holland ferry service across the River Humber, along with Tattershall Castle.  They were withdrawn in 1972 and 1973 respectively.  In 2013 Tattershall Castle survives in central London.
