Venus 6269 grt Bergen Line arriving at T C Q with the aid of Impetus. I managed to get a visitors permit to have a tour of the ship by calling at the Bergen Line office. Try doing that today!!

And leaving the Tyne later in the same day. Remember the steam cranes on the piers?

Photos taken Spring Bank May 1965
