Description: | 1 in 48 scale model of the towing barge 'Blagovestchensk', built by Armstrong and Company at the Walker Shipyard, on the River Tyne, in 1896. She worked on the River Amour, which formed the border between Russia and China. The River Amour passed through a rugged and remote region and was shallow and fast-flowing. Barges such as 'Blagovestchensk' carried heavy loads of cargo like timber and were towed by steam paddle tugs. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East shipbuilding | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
