Leda

Always a looker, Bergen lines Leda, I wish I had a pound for everytime I was with my Dads tug on a Saturday afternoon to swing the Leda from the Tyne commissioners quay, then usually back to tow out and swing the Breamar or Blehiem.

I always remember the band always played as they departed the quay.
