River Humber from Hull Pier

6th September 2007 to 7th September 2007

Here are some images taken around the Pier and from the rear of The Deep.

Lapthorns CURLEW visited New Holland Dock and I captured her inwards and outwards. ALTA MAR left King George Dock for New Holland. The Russian River-class AMUR-2540 made for some nice shots as she passed - she had also been at New Holland. The products tanker WILSON SKY also made some nice shots as she headed for Flixborough Fina.

On a number of occasions recently I have seen the HOTA (Humberside Offshore Training Association) excercising out on the River Humber.

Perhaps my favourite shot of this collection is the one entitled "Local Born". I captured the SWINDERBY and the CURLEW as they passed off the entrance to the River Hull. CURLEW was built by Yorkshire Dry Dock Co. Ltd., in the 80's and the Swinderby as the dry-cargo barge DAVID W by Hepworth's of Paull in 1969.
