A view of Tynemouth harbour entrance during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in July 1993. A very distant view of the stern of a Loyal class fleet tender can be seen on the right hand side of the image with a white hulled passsenger vessel just beyond. A variety of moored small craft can be seen on the left hand side of the image. A large group of people can be seen standing on South Shields Pier watching the sailing vessels go by. The wall of the Tynemouth Pier and a partial view of the back left of a man's head can be seen in the foreground.
