Dist:0.4km north<br/>Abandoned and derelict boat on the Tyne at Scotswood.

Dist:0.4km north<br/>Looking down river to the Scotswood Bridge. In 2003, when this photo was taken, the abandoned fishing boat, 'Brekaer', still had its superstructure intact. This had gone by 2006 [[285020]]. Vandalism, tides and weather have taken toll of its blue and red paint and now, in the right hands, it provides a fine photographic subject of beautiful decay http://www.flickr.com/photos/chris_leithead/3716735320/in/set-72157608812534172/
