Maritime memorabilia (2)

Posted by Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 15 July 2012 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.

They don't just repair old wooden boats you know.
If you are ever in South Shields when the North East Maritime Trust are having one of their open days, it is well worth a quick visit.
They don't charge for entry or for the conversation.
