Titan II

  • stick1949 said:
    The Titan was a floating crane. Shipped out to India with some of the yard swan neck cranes and the floating dock in May 2009. There is a very sad video showing the heavy lift ship Osprey leaving the Tyne with the Titan on board at www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GJsiDLIG9g.

The Royal Navy on the Tyne

    HMCS Provider of the Canadian Navy
  • Maxpax said:
    HMCS Provider was commissioned in 1963, so this photograph should be later. She was built in Quebec and eventually scrapped in Turkey as described here. I see that she visited England in 1969.

    There is a head stone in Hebburn cemetery for a Canadian seaman, Bruno joseph Turcotte who died on 16th June 1964, so she must of been in the Tyne then.

    Looks like an RCN Oiler Replenishment ship to me , the RN didn't use this font

The stern of the Ottawa

  • stick1949 said:
    The Ottawa was built in 1964 at Swn Hunter & Wigham Richardson's Wallsend. This photo shows her on the ways at Wallsend.
