The last boat to Hebburn

Regular readers of this blog may remember my distant (very) connection with Hebburn on Tyne,my grandad on my fathers side used to work in the shipyards there,I only started to get curious about the place after my dad passed away,as often happens,it was by then too late to ask him the questions about Hebburn that I now want to.I check into www.hebburn.org on a fairly regular basis,a regular contributor,mainly shipping, is Kevin Blair,this was posted by him 18,02,2010.
