Goole's waterways came alive as a flotilla of vessels recreated the historic journey that marked the town's official opening 200 years ago.
A fleet of boats travelled along the Knottingley to Goole Canal before passing through South Dock Bridge and navigating around the docks.
The commemorative voyage paid tribute to the arrival of around 50 vessels that celebrated the opening of the port and town in 1826.
Residents and visitors gathered along the waterfront to watch the colourful procession as part of Goole's bicentenary celebrations.
The weekend of events marks 200 years since Goole was established as a major inland port following the extension of the Aire and Calder Navigation Company's canal to the Humber.
The new waterway helped transform Goole into one of the country's most important inland ports, creating the thriving town that celebrates its bicentenary this year.
