THE SEASON

A Halloween-only Special

This iteration of the harbour tour is presented as a Halloween Special, reworking the classic Lowestoft Harbour itinerary into a ghost-focused narrative grounded in local true tales.

THE SITE

Ship Graveyard of Lake Lothing

A central focus of the trip is the Ship Graveyard of Lake Lothing, where shipwreck stories and the quiet geometry of derelict hulls supply the tour’s most unsettling moments.

THE STORY

1882: The Storm and Its Stories

Narration on board reconstructs October 1882, when wooden-hulled sail and oar vessels met a catastrophic storm — the historical spine that the ghost stories and wreck accounts are built around.
