Warship in the Tyne
« on: January 28, 2010, 06:30:35 PM »
Does anyone know the name of the warship which is currently at North Shields?
I think it may be HMS Bulwark but I can't find any confirmation.  I would also be interested to know when it is leaving port.

Hi

Yes HMS Bulwark is alongside the Norhtumbrian Quay, sailed in on the tide at 07.30 this morning.

From what I understand she is open to the public over this weekend and is outbound on 1st February 2010 @ 10.00.

A tip - if you want to see a schedule of expected sailings and inbounds to the Port of Tyne, aim your browser @ http://www.portoftyneonline.co.uk/harbour/expected_shipping.asp

Just a heads up that the Navy News website claims that aircraft carrier HMS Ark Royal will be visiting Newcastle again before Easter.
