The North East Maritime Trust fleet, minus the coble Peggy, in September 2011.
There was nowhere to moor up, as the floating pontoon that was to become NE1 Marina and the access to it, was incomplete at that time and we had to turn around and sail back downriver before they lowered the Millenium Bridge.
The crane being used to build the pontoon is at the foot of the Tyne Bridge in the third picture.
