Port of Tyne New Pilot Cutter - Collingwood

[Guest]

Hi All

Good to hear that the new Port of Tyne Pilot Cutter, COLLINGWOOD will be arriving in the Tyne tonight (22.00). However it may well be that she will be off the Piers earlier than that having a quick 'trial'. The vessel is named after Admiral Lord Collingwood a local lad who did well at the Battle of Trafalgar   :lol:

Photograph of the new craft can be see @ http://www.seateamimages.com/101671.html
