  Loving this set so far!

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Hi Paul, Really glad you like it. I've tried to create a sort of 'historical tour' of the River. If you look at the album it should take you along the Wear from the Piers all the way to Pallion. Have a great weekend.

• optimal chicken said:

  Thank you. You too!

  Great set. Keep up the good work.

Refurbishing tug boats at Bill Quay

from North East Museums

• Chris C said:

  This is ST-761, a US Army tug built in northern Alabama at Decatur in 1943. Sold to France Fenwick in 1950 as RYHOPE, she was sold again in 1970 to a Yugoslavian company as KASTOR. Scrapped 1986 at Split.

• optimal chicken said:

  It's amazing what can be found out ^^ If I remember correctly, the foundations for cranes and other yard equipment is still visible at the rivers edge there. Could well be from the same yard. Bill Quay hides some interesting secrets - some very dark ones too. I think I know where I'll be heading soon!

• optimal chicken said:

  Edit; It is indeed this yard I was describing. Once the weather clears I'll grab some pics and explore the area..

• steviej 007 said:

  Wonderful sharp photo.

• 35mm disjointed said:

  Easy to take this image for granted. But it would appear to have been taken from a boat, is in focus with a good acceptable depth of focus. Great shot. I was born in a house up the bank (not the one in the picture) and used to play around here. Fishing and hunting for crab bate. Those were the days.
