ARCHBISHOP OF YORK TO DISEMBARK AT HULL MARINA
O
n Saturday 13 May 2017, the Archbishop
of York, Dr John Sentamu, disembarked at Hull Marina, owned and operated by British Waterways Marinas Ltd (BWML), before bestowing minster status on Hull’s 700 year old, Holy Trinity church. Dr Sentamu carried a
lantern lit at All Saints Church in Hessle on board the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) heritage lifeboat, William Riley, from Hessle Haven on a five mile voyage to Hull Marina, before processing to Holy Trinity to join public festivities ahead of the minster-making service. The William Riley was accompanied by a flotilla of other vessels, including police and Humber pilot launches, the Humber Rescue boat and pleasure boats from Hull Marina, on a spectacular voyage to Hull. The arrangements

keynote events during Hull’s year as UK City of Culture. Dr Sentamu said,
“This will be a fantastic day when we rejoice in the place of Holy Trinity at the heart of the city of Hull by designating it as Hull Minster. To be able to arrive from the Humber,
the river which is so much a part of the city’s heritage, will make it that much more special. As we celebrate together in this City of Culture year, I pray that Hull Minster will continue to be a place where all are able to encounter God and to know His presence with them in all that they do.” Revd. Canon Dr Neal
Barnes, Vicar of Holy Trinity said, “Hull’s whole history is based on its maritime heritage – the city is here because of the Humber and access to the sea – so it is wholly appropriate for the Archbishop to make the
journey to Holy Trinity largely on the water.” David Parkinson, BWML’s Manager of Hull Marina and a supporter of Holy Trinity, also played a key role in arranging the Archbishop’s journey by boat to Hull and the supporting flotilla. He said, “Everything has fallen into place with so many people keen to work together to bring a nautical aspect to the minster-making. It’s a real honour to assist Holy Trinity with such an important event and we’re looking forward to bringing an additional sense of spectacle to the day.”
