A BIT MORE WELLER
THORNABY
Full panoramic view across the harbour at Sunderland
looking from North Dock across to Greenwell's, the dock entrance, and (extreme
right) the start of Corporation Quay.
Sunderland used to be one of the few places you might be stopped by security
people in the 1960s. On one of my earliest trips there, along with my pal,
someone advised us to say we were heading from Greenwell's if asked what we were
doing!
A closer look at the THORNABY at Sunderland. Seems to be a Shell tanker in drydock behind.
THORNABY, Ropner, 12146gt, completed Laing's, Sunderland, 6-1955. 1966 D.G.PAPALIOS, 1969 broken up.
