Our jaunt through the Island as it was in 1832 has brought us to Ramsey. We look at St Paul's Church, its history and appearance in the time of Rev Thomas Stephen, Ramsey harbour and then we exert ourselves to enjoy some wider sight-seeing on the north.

The captain of the Russian schooner, Demeter, kept a ship's log of the troubled voyage from Varna to Whitby. His was the only body on board on arrival - dead and tied to the wheel! The ship's log, as described by Bram Stoker in this translation into Manx of 'Dracula', tells his grim story.
