Quite possible George, quite possible.
The Latvian GRETA was in Blyth for two months because she did not have an export license for a project cargo she had loaded for Vigo.

Any movement news on the Dutch Floating Crane, is she still on the Tyne? Hopefully she is still complete and the hacksaw vandals have not been aboard, I wonder if she is a 'Total Loss' steam job as in no Condenser the goldmine for any scrap thief with Brass Faceplates and Ferrules along with lengths of Copper tubing. Unfortunately and sad to say the last two vessels laid up on the Tees suffered badly from looters despite one vessel being in sight of the local Police HQ :(
The Clevend Police managed to have a camera covering the goings on in and out of the Bongo Club which was mounted on the tall office block on the other side of the railway tracks now called BOHO? But couldn't manage to mount one covering an old Minesweeper when owned by the Sea Cadets and then abandoned due to asbestos. :x

Noted on another site she has been scrapped. Anyone confirm this?
