As the ANYA DEV on the Tyne 19.11.94

As FREDA CUNNINGHAM 16.05.81

There was an article in last nights Gazette about the old Tyne ferry Freda Cunningham.

Yes, my wife read a similar story in the Journal yesterday and said to me (with a little note of triumph), "Do you know where the ferry FREDA CUNNINGHAM is?" and I said Ireland and she was quite deflated. I hadn't realised that it was a mystery. Been on here since 2012 and on Tyne Built Ships since late 2013, just haven't been able to find any technical data yet.
