The intention was, I believe to turn her into a 'Diving Boat' for plundering the Wrecks off Blyth.

She was brought up River to just short of the Kitty Brewster Bridge that takes the Spine Road over the River Blyth. Some work was done but eventually she was abandoned to the Scrap man.

Incidentally, Blyth Shipyard did the Steelwork for the Kitty Brewster Bridge.

Not a lot of people know that !

Leaving Tees Dock in later life.

My rather poor shot of the LACKENBY berthed in the Tees on 13 June 1968: Earlier, on 29 September 1964, the LACKENBY had control of the dumb barge T.C.C. 26: Ken Turrell sent me this view of the LACKENBY, presumably while lying semi-derelict at Blyth: Ron
