It's an important year for the city of Hull, in northern England. It's celebrating more than 800 years of maritime history with a raft of new museum openings that it's hoped will make it a world-class visitor attraction. Emeline Nsingi Nkosi goes to see the opening of the restored Spurn Lightship - literally a lighthouse on a ship - which was a mainstay on the waterways there for 50 years. She meets the people involved in the huge regeneration effort and finds out why the city's been the punchline of jokes for so many years.
