Part of the harbour at Seahouses on the North-East coast of England. HFF everybody :-) Photographed with an Olympus SP55OUZ bridge camera and processed with Nikon Capture NX2 and Pixlr Editor.

Fishing for mackerel at South Shields pier in the North-East of England, photographed during the Summer of 2008. The rusty fence has since been replaced with a modern (but less colourful) one. We didn't have much luck.....I only caught a small eel and my friend Dave (in the photograph) caught nothing but it was still a pleasant way to spend a few hours. HFF everybody :-)

MS Saga Ruby was a cruise ship that was last operated by Saga Cruises. She was originally built as the combined ocean liner / cruise ship Vistafjord in 1973 by Swan Hunter Ship-builders in the United Kingdom for the Norwegian America Line. In 1983 she was sold to Cunard Line, retaining her original name until 1999 when she was renamed Caronia. In 2004 she was sold to Saga and sailed as Saga Ruby until sold in 2014 for use as a floating hotel and renamed Oasia. However, this plan never came to fruition. Her owners went bankrupt and in April 2017 she arrived at the Alang ship-breaking yard in India for dismantlement. (Wikipedia (edited)).

Coastal erosion at Seahouses, Northumberland.....these buildings won't be around much longer !! A popular fishing port and seaside resort on the Northumbrian coast, the village of Seahouses is a lovely spot. Daily sailings leave from Seahouses harbour to visit the nearby nature reserve and seabird sanctuary on the Farne Islands. Some boat trips allow visitors to land on the islands to explore on foot. Just two miles up the coast is Bamburgh Castle and the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle are several miles further south. (Britain Express).

One of the Ferry fleet, "Glad Tidings", which runs between the coastal town of Seahouses and the nearby Farne Islands. The islands are home to many species of birds and thousands of Grey Seals (and they are the former home of at least 3 Saints). The Islands are also famous for their association with Grace Darling (see 1st link below) who, with her lighthouse-keeper father William, saved the lives of 9 people in 1830 when the ship "Forfarshire" went aground and split apart on nearby rocks during a violent storm. Despite weather which was too severe for the Seahouses lifeboat to be launched, Grace and her father rowed to the wreck in a small boat and managed to save the survivors. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grace_Darling en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farne_islands

One of the small, fast ferries that run between Seahouses and the Farne Islands. The Farne Islands are a group of islands off the coast of Northumberland, England. There are between 15 and 20 islands depending on the state of the tide (some are submerged at high-tide). The Farne Islands are associated with the story of Grace Darling and the wreck of the Forfarshire. Grace Darling was the daughter of Longstone lighthouse-keeper, William Darling and on September 7, 1838, at the age of 22 years, she and her father rescued nine people in a strong gale and thick fog from the wreck of the Forfarshire which had run aground on Harker rock. The story of the rescue attracted extraordinary attention throughout Britain and made Grace Darling a heroine who has gone down in British folklore. (Wikipedia).
