Bluestone - 1918

In the foreground is a bit of a problem for the BHC or perhaps the LNER whichever has responsibility.

Hower in the middle background is the BLUESTONE which I suspect is the ex WAR COMBE built by Tyne Iron in 1918.

See http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/W-Ships ... e1918.html

But is that a Maersk in the far background?
