    Built for Charente SS Co Ltd (T & J Harrison & Co Ltd), Liverpool she went on to be sold in 1971 to Spica Shipping Co Ltd, FCyprus and renamed Aghios Georgios. In 1976 she was renamed as San Georgio when purchased By Ifestion SA, Panama. Eventually broken up in May 1977 at San Esteban de Pravia, Spain.

    Westoe Colliery in the distance close to the coast. The massive head gear can be seen above the shaft and coal conveyors to the left. A mine which should never have closed..
  • Don Tate said:
    A large area already been levelled. Would that have been housing???
  • optimal chicken said:
    Don Tate A fair bit yes. I'd say about a third of that open space still survives - possibly less.
  • Don Tate said:
    Thanks
  • Paul Jarvie said:
    Really cool pic and history.

Laying a ship's keel at Readhead's shipyard

  • Doug D said:
    I'm impressed with those tower cranes which took much more skill to operate than the newer ones. I really appreciate these photos and I sent a link to a retired US navy sailor so he could appreciate this site too. Thanks.
  • Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:
    Doug D Thanks for your kind words and for helping to promote the collections. We're really glad that you like the photos.
