This is a photo from the The Big River, Port of Tyne/Gazette publication, showing the Aquitania arriving on the Tyne in the early 1920's to be converted from coal to oil burning. The link to Hebburn is that she was being fitted with The White's of Hebburn Patent Oil Burning System. I wonder what yard it was carried out at. There seems to be quite a crowd watching the arrival. The tug at the bow is the Hendon.
