PHOTO QUERY

Postby teesships » Mon Sep 02, 2013 1:19 pm

There is a query running on Memories of Middlesbrough Facebook page as to whether the photo shown is on the Tees?
See: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid ... =1&theater
It does not look familiar to me, but maybe other Forumites can be more specific?
The premise that it may be the Tees seems to come from the partial text at the bottom ... that the CAPE WRATH and NIVERNAIS were together only twice during WW2 ... and Ian Buxton says it is not the Tyne!

Well to be fair you did add an interesting bit of information that I for one never noticed on the original!

Not sure if it helps though.... ;)
