One of the longest repair/conversion jobs in recent years! I first saw her at South Shields in July 1999.
Here she is near the end of the job (?) on 23/07/2006.

Arriving as the Ingrid 04.04.1999. I seem to recall she was up and down the Tyne more times than a hooker on speed looking for a place to lay during her time on the river.
