You now need to look for the 1925, 1930 and 1934 Edition.
My 1934 Handbook has Third Edition 1934 on the Front so the one you have must be the Fourth Edition.
There are different pictures of Tyne Dock in the first three editions.

Nice photo of a very busy dock.
Don't know where I got this fact from now, but "at its height in 1913, 7 million tons of coal were exported from Tyne Dock and in the period between 1859 and 1934 it had shipped a total of 323 million tons. Imports were also handled at the dock and iron ore, pit props and sawn timber were all unloaded"

7,139,651 Tons to be exact. 
1914 dropped to 6,574,510 Tons.
Total Coal and Coke for 1913 were 20,299,955 Tons which was exceeded in 1923 when 21,552,964 tons were shipped.
