Storage tanks in the background, are they the old ESSO tanks or new storage facilities. They appear to be too near to the shoreline for what I remember to be the ESSO storage facilities.

Small point!
The boats name is 'Hedwin' not Headwin.
She has been around the Tyne for years and still very active.
Yes this is the old Esso terminal you see.
