Another old Tyne pilot boat the Queen of the May (and it's not a painting!)
Check out all those Foy boats, I guess the only differance in today's Foy boats is they have an engine!
Again that looks like the fish quay in the background.

Looks as though she was built by Inglis on the Clyde in 1895

EDIT from George .... from Clyde-built d/base
