Whitehaven Lass tracked down
Published: 21/07/2021
AN HISTORIC Whitehaven ship’s figurehead, thought to have gone missing, has pride of place in a European art collection.
Back in January 2020, The Beacon Museum shared a 1930s photograph of the piece, from the ship the Whitehaven Lass. The picture was thought to have been taken in the Whitehaven area, but the current whereabouts of the figurehead were unknown.
The social media post was spotted by international figurehead researcher, Richard Hunter, who got in touch with Copeland Borough Council.
