The photograph shows the fairway and the two basins which form the South Harbour. The east basin has been home to Royal Northumberland Yacht Club for over a century. When this picture was taken in 1927, the Club's Headquarters vessel was an ex-Admiralty concrete tug called the Cretehatch which is moored to a dolphin. Members' yachts were on moorings in the vicinity. The photograph also shows the 'Ice House' snuggled into the corner of the east basin, and the 'German Sheds' in the West Basin. |

Thanks for that Bruce - My Grandfather served as stoker on the Cretehatch in January/February 1921 - presumably just after it was built. |
