For a moment I thought it was the River Blyth! A fascinating image though and shows what an important river the Tyne was back then. (it still is) If we'd seen the other side of the river it would be buried beneath staithes loading coal for export. Here's what the above yard looks like now. It's beneath the plus in the centre.

You can see the coveyor and loading gantry for the iron ore trains to Consett on the other side of the dock gates. There aren't many other pictures of it that I'm aware of.

It staggers me that they achieved the correct angles and shapes to create a balanced and equal shaped ship like this. They were designed using slide rules and paper yet made them to a very high standard - real skills.
