AN epic mock sea battle will mark one of the region's biggest historical re-enactment dates of the year.
This year's Hartlepool Maritime Festival will feature a mock battle between full-sized replicas of Captain Cook's ship HMS Bark Endeavour and Tsar Peter the Great's Russian frigate Shtandart, created by Russian shipping enthusiasts.
The festival will take place at Hartlepool Historic Quay on Saturday and Sunday, July 3 and 4.
