Thanks for photo and the details, interesting to see the little HEBBURN.
Tugs at the far end of the drydock might be Smits (?) ready to take her away, don't look like local tugs.

Unfortunately the caption on the photo is wrong. It is actually the MEDWAY DOCK of 1912.

Still at Bergen, but looking somewhat unloved, on 28 March 2016.
