Tall Ships Race
The Tall Ships Race
I went to Gateshead Quays last night to see the Tall Ships and the fireworks display. I guess I was one of about 250,000 people who thronged both banks of the Tyne, the atmosphere was terrific and the traffic was horrendous!
I came back with almost 100 pictures, returning home well after midnight, here's a taster of the type of ship that would have looked great passing the "Gut" at Redhead's Landing, if only some people had acted sooner, rather than later!
Click the picture to enlarge.
I am now leaving to find a spot on the pier, and will get some more shots posted here this evening as well as creating a special Tall Ships Gallery in Curly's Corner Shop.
This is another of those great events that will put South Shields on the map this summer, there is also a live webcast available here for the next four hours for those who are unable to attend, the camera is positioned on the roof of the Customs House at the Mill Dam.
