River Tees - 17 November 1974:

Can’t remember the name(s) of the vessel(s) that had a canny “voyage” although I have a feeling they were either Shell or BP Tankers that did the trip between South Tees and North Tees for quite a while, these voyages went on until the under River Tees pipeline was completed
I wonder if they did the occasional trip outside the limits for Tank Cleaning and to qualify for Duty Free(s)
The Tankers were not Coastal but Deep Sea as in the photographs.
