After Dunston's shipyard closed, the berth just inside the Haven was used for cargo for a few years circa 2000-2005 maybe, approach was always difficult due to a bank outside the entrance and I guess this one just failed to make it on one tide.

Difficult! that could be considered an understatement having seen video of ships trying to make it!

Slack water, point, full speed and hope the brakes work............
