hms Bounty in Newcastle-upon- Tyne

Hi Woo, its a pleasure, I have enjoyed showing them to everyone, enjoyed taking the photos of both old and new vessels in our waters, Waiting for 2 hours for the bounty to arrive i had the perfect opportunity to take the other ships.
The bounty was later coming down the tyne from newcastle as it had to wait for the dfds seaways to leave north shields ferry terminal, still it was well worth the wait, wouldnt of missed it for anything.

 

Rosa, a nice lot of pics there, interesting all round.
One question,..... Why was the Bounty flying the Stars and Stripes? :D
I thought we got blamed for that one. :D

 

thanks pete, Bounty was a british ship back then and the replica is probably owned by americans now, hope this answers your question :D

 

Thought it might be something like that rosa.
We cant even build replicas of our own ships now, what have we come to.
Would the last one to leave please turn out the lights. :D

 

When the bounty left it was going further up the coast, were it is going for its final destination i dont know.

 

Very familiar with that locale - I worked in the docks there!

No - you didn't misread that - I WORKED in the docks! As an occupational health nurse! It was amazing, guys there of 65 doing the SAME job they had since they served their time (apprentice-ship) on leaving school at 14. And many of them hadn't had so much as as single day off sick!

Thnaks for the memory, Rosa!
