Wonder what the couple in the VW Beetle are saying?
And what ever happened to the good old Central Linen Co. Ltd?

They are probably saying "must go to Woods the specialist in Nautical Outfitting".
I remember I went there for my uniform as a new BP apprentice.

Classic photo as when was the last time you saw 5 ships rafted up in the Tyne :D

I was 22 at the time and this was the time of the seamen's strike so it was difficult to know what was repair and what was laid up.
I did a cruise down the river from the Tyne Bridge to the Piers and back the same May weekend. Very interesting.
