Description: | This view shows the mouth of the Tyne at North Shields. A steam paddle tug is towing a ship up the river. The introduction of steam tugs allowed sailing ships to navigate the River Tyne in conditions that would have been otherwise impossible. In the background is the black shape of the naval training ship 'Wellesley', which was stationed at North Shields. This was a school for boys to train them for work on ships. Behind her is a naval warship. The artist Bernard Benedict Hemy lived at Shields for much of his career. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | work North Tyneside living in the North East North East artists made in the North East coal mining people shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
