Hot off the press

Due to the local port authority ceasing photographic permits from the end of 2003,
new additions to this page will be severely limited from now. I will try to keep it
running but updates may be few and far between.

Evening tide at North Ferriby.

The Russian coaster "Piligrim 3" inward bound for the Trent, on a slightly uneven trim.

On her regular run to Goole, the "Pride of Braila" passes North Ferriby.

Strahlmann's "Thunder" inward for the Trent.

Dutch Dash

We sailed on Sunday on Pride of Hull to have a day in Amsterdam. We were up very early hoping
to catch a few ships on the way in to Europoort, weather and light permitting. I have put the photos
on the following pages to help with downloads.

Part 1 - Europoort

Part 2 - Beneluxhaven

Part 3 - Amsterdam

Part 4 - Humber

A flying visit to Goole and the Trent without the aid of VTS sheets!

The only vessel visible in the port, the "RMS Duisburg" at the steel terminal.

Moving around the Trent to the riverside by Ferry House Inn at Burton upon Stather, the "Fast Filip" was the first
movement outward from Flixborough.

Next outward, on a very breezy day, the "RMS Scanlark".

Dean's tug "Shovette" also outward, presumably was assisting a vessel unberthing in the strong winds.

Outward from Grove Wharf, the Russian coaster "Mekhanik Kottsov".

At this point I was getting very cold and went to go get a coffee at the Inn but it was still closed, so left the Trent for home.
