Whitby was a favourite subject of Goodwin's, he wrote on 22 July 1909, 'Whitby once again... I am again inclined to repeat myself in the belief that one or two things in it (for colour) are as good as anything can be.' (The Diary of Albert Goodwin, R.W.S. (1883-1927), London, 1934, p. 116).

Whitby abbey was founded by St. Hilda in 657 and destroyed by the Danes in 867. The ruin as we see it now belongs essentially to the 13th century. In 1830 one of the towers collapsed and the Abbey today looks just as it does in the watercolour.
