From a not very good card photo. Left hand side it says Leith Wharf, sailings every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.

Not sure where Leith Wharf was. Are we looking downriver, from about where the Millenium Bridge is now?

Leith Wharf became 8 Berth where Swedish Lloyd operated from. Where the first set of sheds were. See the two big towers in the back ground. That's 11 Berth, right opposite the Baltic. Elder Dempster and Palm Line offloaded palm oil here to Hedleys soap works.

Great photo

Thanks Rivoldini, a little closer to Newcastle than I was suggesting.
