Nice one Neil, did not know that berth by the bridge had been used for cargo. Maybe the rest of the quays were full!

Always thought it a pity when they pulled down the old houses/shops by her stern, next to the bridge, we used to fish for billet down there!

50 YEARS AGO TODAY!

JANNE MARIA in Middlesbrough Dock - 10 April 1970:

Interesting man overboard!

Although this is a new scan from an original negative you may notice the quality is not as good as many normal new scans. That is because 50 years ago I used up two-thirds of a film photographing a friend's wedding, and the final third covering a work's accident. Sandwiched in between were two ship photos. Quite soon I realised that somewhere along the line I had lost those two original negatives .... so starting that nasty habit that has lasted more than 50 years! However, prints had been produced from them so off I went to the camera shop and asked for copy negatives to be made. This is what I've had to use these 50 years later and I'm sure there would have been better reproduction in the modern day and age. However, they continue a valued record of my sightings back than.
