A celebration of why Amble is known as The Friendliest Port. Live music and entertainment, plus a display of Morgan cars at Amble Harbour Village.
The story: On Wednesday 3rd July 1935, when RMS Mauretania was heading on her final voyage to the docks at Rosyth to be broken up, she sailed past Amble.
At 10.25am, the clerk to Amble Urban Council sent the captain of the Mauretania a message of greeting:
“Amble to Mauretania. Greetings from Amble, last port in England, to still the finest ship on the seas”.
Back came the reply:
“Urban Council Amble, to the last and kindliest port in England, greetings and thanks. Mauretania.”
Decades of retelling this story means ‘kindliest’ has now turned into ‘friendliest’.
