The photograph shows the fairway and the two basins which form the South Harbour. The east basin has been home to Royal Northumberland Yacht Club for over a century. When this picture was taken in 1927, the Club's Headquarters vessel was an ex-Admiralty concrete tug called the Cretehatch which is moored to a dolphin. Members' yachts were on moorings in the vicinity.



The photograph also shows the 'Ice House' snuggled into the corner of the east basin, and the 'German Sheds' in the West Basin.

Thanks for that Bruce - My Grandfather served as stoker on the Cretehatch in January/February 1921 - presumably just after it was built.
