Refurbishing tug boats at Bill Quay

from North East Museums

• 2 older comments, and then…
• 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.

  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..

  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.

Launch of the Japanese cruiser 'Iwate'

from North East Museums

• Billy Embleton said:

  On 24th July 1945 she was bombed at Kure in Japan and sank in shallow water Subsequently raised & broken up in 1946.

• Wayne Hill said:

  The manufacture and sale to the Japanese navy in 1900 would not have raised concerns.

The tank engine 'Hilda' built by Hawthorn Leslie

from North East Museums

• A.Davey said:

  It might not have been said at the time, but Hilda is very cute. I'm puzzled by the two downward-pointing tines at the very front of the engine. They don't seem like they'd be effective at clearing obstacles from the path of the engine, but I can't think what other purpose they would serve.
