North Shields Fishquay seen here in the early 1900s - plenty of sailing ships moored in the river - this view if looking West and appears to have been taken from the Low Light - restored photograph.
Looking at todays Fleet its hard to imagine what the Fishquay and the River itself would have looked like with all the boats of the 19th Century. Just as well there are a few old photographs available so that we can see what it was like
