1904, 119grt
J. P. Rennoldson, South Shields (234) for Sunderland Towing Company
1918 France, Fenwick Tyne & Wear Company
1962 sold to Grangemouth & Forth Towing Co., based at Methil
Broken up at St. David's 3/1966

The second picture must have been taken at Methil then.......cause its not the Tyne.

Yes Paul, I was thinking it was 'out of bounds'! But a nice shot of her anyway.

So what!!

As you say its a nice picture!

No not out of bounds, just in the wrong category! Would sit fine in Tyne Shipbuilding.

But, but, but ....!!! George was doing exactly the right thing by keeping postings on the one topic together, never mind what might be a more appropriate sub-forum! (Yes, this means subject matter could be divided, cross-referenced, etc., to other sub-forums, but that has been the case since day 1 of NEM!) We'll concentrate on staying on course, and keeping the holds full.

Another shot of Roker, I think at Sunderland.

Unkown photographers

Background ships I think are JOHN CHARRINGTON and THAMESWOOD, which would date the photo between late 1957 and 04/1959.
