The Forth Jouster towing a barge northwards off Sunderland, with a rainbow in the background. The ship had initially been towing the barge south but had turned a short time later, with weather conditions possibly too rough. PIP #1 and 2: Closer view of the Forth Jouster and the barge.

The Humber Guardian on one of its regular visits to Sunderland and the River Wear. As far as I can gather from limited information online, the ship is used by the Environment Agency to survey tidal levels in the rivers. As far as I can tell, the ship goes some distance upriver on the Wear when it visits, but the AIS feed cuts out at Wearmouth bridge unfortunately. PIP #1: Head on view of the Humber Guardian arriving in to Sunderland.

After a short visit to Sunderland (arriving 0800 - departing 0945), the survey vessel Humber Guardian continued south to Hartlepool.
