Description: | This view shows the mouth of the Tyne at North Shields. A steam paddle tug is towing a ship up the river. Several steam paddle tugs were built at Palmer's shipyard at Jarrow. 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. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1880 to 1910 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Bernard Benedict Hemy | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
