Description: | This small buoy was positioned just inside the Tyne piers. It is too small to be a mooring buoy. Instead it was probably one of many, indicating where the water was deep enough for ships. The black end is heavier than the orange end, making the buoy float with the bright, more visible end up. The little rings on either end were probably used to link it with other buoys to form a chain. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | living in the North East transport | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
