WHAT IS BLUE FLAG?

Two hundred years ago The Williams was a tall ship built and owned by Captain William Smith, a man born and raised in Blyth. During a trading voyage he discovered Antarctica but was never credited with the discovery. The Williams Expedition aims to restore a working tall ship (Blyth Tall Ship) as the Williams II in Blyth, then to recreate the original expedition with a local crew sailing her south to Cape Horn and Antarctica 200 years after the original discovery.

On Sunday 19th August Headway Arts will unveil an installation of 600 blue sailcloth flags illustrating this journey of discovery by Williams. We are working with local people to create the flags which will appear along the tideline near to Blyth’s iconic beach huts from dawn till dusk.
