that in the 1700s became a major river port.
The major tourist attraction is a full size replica of James Cook's ship HM Bark Endeavour moored at Castlegate Quay
on Stockton's riverside.
Guided tours around the ship reveal a fascinating insight into how Captain Cook and his crew lived.

toy gallery and the famous painting of Georges de la Tour.
