The dock is dry,the whole place itself is more or less intact,the scrap lads have been in and pinched copper and other stuff.The biggest problem for the yard is the river,it has not been dredged properly since 1990.In 2003 if I remember right the owners of the yard asked Sunderland council for help by dredging the river,the council refused.If you scroll further down there are photos of the river on here and if you look on Sunderland Tugs and Shipbuilding in Pictures there are more photos of the yard and I think there are more to come.It is a Facebook site but it is a good one.
