Again, one might concede "for the
record" only! Middlesbrough Dock - 29 June 1962
From the angle of view I had imagined at first glance that this showed a vessel at 10 Quay but
looking afresh at what detail can be seen this obviously is one taken from 10
Quay looking across to the other side of the dock with St John's church visible
astern.
OCEAN ENERGY (5260306) Pakistan, 8995gt, built Hamburg 1953, ex Santa Ines-61. 1980 broken up.

By now I had my new camera and I note I took a view, probably identical, with it! Will find and post one day, maybe under 40 MILES OF BAD ROAD!!
But, waste not, want not, I clearly had one 120 film to use up in my old camera and two that I did not replicate using the new camera were two sisterships on the same day:
Tyne-Tees/Dent's Wharves - 23 August 1962. Yes, there is a ship beyond that bow! And also alongside!
YARROW (5395228) Geo. Gibson & Co. Ltd., Leith, 1140gt, completed by Grangemouth Dkyd Co. Ltd., Grangemouth, 8-1958. 1969 lengthened and converted to liquefied gas carrier, wrecked 1-1972

This is what she looks like from astern
Tyne-Tees/Dent's Wharves - 23 August 1962
ETTRICK (5109306) Geo. Gibson & Co. Ltd., Leith, 1144gt, completed by Grangemouth Dkyd Co. Ltd., Grangemouth, 3-1959. 1968 lengthened and converted to liquefied gas carrier, 1972 PETROLAGAS (Greece), [from Miramar] BU Aspropyrgos 11.85
Only one shot left on this old camera. What can I waste it on?
See: SMITH'S DOCKS NO. 3
So, off into honourable retirement for that camera - but, 45 years on, thanks for these memories!
