Sealane Inshore Ltd's Sealane Constructor heading down river 11.07.13.
She was built at Swans and this was her first sailing.

Well, that is a bit of a surprise. Didn't realise Swans were building anything. Which Swans? At Wallsend? Would that be the Jaap Kroese (spelling? ) company that built the two Bay Class LSDs?

I spoke to someone at Sealane and they just said Swans and i assumed it was Wallsend.

Just spoke to Sealane again and they built the vessel at Swans.

Thanks Kevin, so built by Sealane but using the old Swans yard as a building location. I guess she must have been lifted into the water from the quayside.

Ooh, another Tyne shipbuilder to add to the website .... you don't get one of them most days!

Indeed. I thought the list was complete when the Lyme Bay left, but then we got a concrete pontoon out of Wallsend dry dock and now this one.

I don't think you need to add to your Swan's list Dave - the shipyard no longer exists - pontoons, workboats, etc. are all by new builders.

Thanks Dennis

So it is a clean break, but who is doing what on the site. I thought it was just a cleared site, but obviously not.

Website is a bit behind the times........
