James Watts Freak (Seaham)

His family

Our family has historic links with Whitby. Our GG Uncle Isaac Dobson was lost in the 1861 Whitby Lifeboat Disaster and our GG Grandad, Thomas Raw, a Master Mariner from Whitby, lost his life at sea in 1875. We were delighted when Whitby was chosen for Launch a Memory as it ties together our family's seafaring history perfectly! Dad/grandad, who was in Seaham Coastguard, would be so proud to see his name on the lifeboat. He & his seagoing family will always be with you saving lives at sea 🌊💙
