at which port in england did bram stoker's dracula first arrive?

Answer 1

it was whitby

Answer 2

hi, so you already got your answer but i have this snippet that when i went to whitby, went to see whitby abby and there's this house or something next to the abby and from there i learnt that bram stoker would look out of the window and imagine that there was a dark figure sitting on the head stone of a grave. it was dracula ; )
what people imagine or dream is usually more interesting than the story.

Answer 3

As far as Bram Stoker was concerned, it was Whitby. There is quite a tourist attraction in that coastal town because of the connection.

Answer 4

taken from a cut of the source page

"Not long afterwards, a Russian ship runs aground during a fierce tempest, on the shores of Whitby, a coastal town in northern England. All passengers and crew are dead. A huge dog or wolf is seen running from the ship, which contains nothing but boxes of dirt from Transylvania: Count Dracula, in his animal form, has arrived in England."

although if I remember correctly, in the 1992 film of the book starring Keano Reeves they had him arrive in Purfleet, Essex (but I may be wrong on that one, not found a source yet)

Answer 5

Whitby. A great awe came on all as they realised that the ship, as if by a miracle, had found the harbour, unsteered save by the hand of a dead man! However, all took place more quickly than it takes to write these words. The schooner paused not, but rushing across the harbour, pitched herself on that accumulation of sand and gravel washed by many tides and many storms into the southeast corner of the pier jutting under the East Cliff, known locally as Tate Hill Pier.

Answer 6

Whitby, but he didn't actually put in at the port, per se.

The Demeter, the boat he was on, came ashore and wrecked on the rocks during a storm. All hands aboard the ship were dead, and the only living thing was a big black dog that jumped ashore and ran away.

Answer 7

Whitby

Answer 8

Whitby, Yorkshire.

Answer 9

he arrived at the fishing port of Whitby in North Yorkshire.

Answer 10

While Harker was being held prisoner, the count books passage on the ship Demeter to London. His purpose was not only to move into Carfax Abbey, but to meet Mina, who Dracula believes is the reincarnation of his wife.

When the Demeter arrives in London, the entire crew is dead. Since Dracula is in a box of his native earth and assumed to be cargo, he is delivered safely to the Abbey

Answer 11

Whitby around 1897
