The famous
Teesside
landmark, the Transporter Bridge (built 1911) across the
River Tees
between Middlesbrough and Port Clarence.
Sea Fever by John Masefield
I MUST down
to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her
by,
And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white
sail's shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn
breaking.
I must down to the seas again, for the call of the
running tide
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be
denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds
flying,
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the
sea-gulls crying.
I must down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy
life.
To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's
like a whetted
knife;
And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing
fellow-rover,
And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long
trick's over.

A word
(or two) about photos on my TEESSHIPS website. To
maximise the amount
of material I can show on the site, within the
confines of space I
deliberately optimise, i.e. condense, the size of
the photos in
uploading them to show on my site. To me, these are
OK for us all to
look at on our PCs, and to save in our Photo Library
and look at later.
What they are not good for is being printed off -
they will come out
very small!; or for more "professional" use (with my
permission, of
course!). If anyone ever needs/wants a larger
dimension scan please
just ask me. (Email address as shown below.) I will
try to oblige
(providing I can still find the original print!!!!!)
23.11.08 This no longer
applies for most
images added during 2008 and onwards.

COPYRIGHT:
You are welcome to download for your own interest,

webmasters operate on a
similar basis and I include material from other
sites when such seems
appropriate. However, if anyone is unhappy about
such use of their
original material please let me know so that I can
rectify the
situation to their satisfaction.
