Turbinia

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums posted a photo:

A photograph of the damaged Turbinia, taken by W. Parry in 1907. In January that year 'Turbinia' was moored at Wallsend when she was hit by the 'Crosby', a ship launched from Robert Stephenson's shipyard on the other side of the Tyne. The Crosby crashed into her with such momentum that 'Turbinia' was pushed on to the shore. However, the Marine Steam Turbine Company was able to repair her.

Turbinia - Closeup

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums posted a photo:

A close view of the damage which 'Turbinia' sustained in 1907. She was moored at Wallsend when a ship launched from Stephenson's shipyard crashed into her. The picture shows where the bow of the other ship hit 'Turbinia's side. There was extensive damage to the hull, the guardrails were bent and part of the wheelhouse was destroyed. There was no great damage to her engines, though, and she was fully restored in the same year.

A photograph showing 'Turbinia' in the dock at Wallsend, taken by W. Parry in 1907. She had been damaged during the launching of a ship at Robert Stephenson's shipyard on the other side of the Tyne. The damage is visible on Turbinia's side. This was repaired in time to steam alongside the liner 'Mauretania' when she was launched later that year.

Neptune Yard

nobody@flickr.com (Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 04:56:35 -0800

Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums posted a photo:

This photograph shows a storehouse at the shipbuilder Wigham Richardson's Neptune Yard. In 1881 the owner John Wigham Richardson made a large sundial, which can be seen here hanging on the storehouse wall. He also wrote a motto underneath: 'Watching these fleeting hours soon past, remember that which comes at last.' The storehouse was taken down when Wigham Richarson merged with Swan Hunter in 1902, but the sundial was preserved, and today it is in Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collections.
