TEENAGERS have turned shipmates to celebrate the end of a training course.
On Monday, six 16-18 year-olds from Pennywell Youth Project joined the crew of the yacht, Hartlepool Renaissance, which will take them on a five-day trip via Whitby to the Farne Islands.
The youngsters, from the project's Connect course, will be involved in activities, including steering the boat and preparing meals.
The course aims to improve teenagers' confidence and skills to help them secure a job or go into further education.
