I think back to my early childhood and the scale of the ships I saw launched from the Tyne and it was a marvel. The visitors are still impressive, but seeing Ark Royal heading off for sea trials is a memory I will always have.

Not forgetting the impressive AEOLUS crane ship thing that's been towering over the Tyne for ages now.

Did you see the one that lifted the Millenium Bridge into place? That was amazing.

I remember watching the look north footage of it
Before my arrival on Tyneside otherwise I'd have tried to see it. Looked amazing.

I'd thought you'd always been here?

I was watching the livestream and also could just see the top of the crane through the office window.

The size of marine vessels and engineering never ceases to amaze the engineer in me.
