ST ALBANS - F83

[Dennis Maccoy]

The RN's newest frigate, the eighteen-year-old St Albans, sailing from the Tyne this morning.

St Albans, masquerading as Hurworth on AIS, entering the Tyne this afternoon for a short stay at Whitehill Point. At this point there were nine tugs on the river – more than for some time, but still far fewer than the 21 or so when I first took a serious interest in activities on the river.
