    Seeing that docks are in the vogue-here's the historic dry dock near Middlesbrough on the River Tees where we hope to install TSS Dover for the first part of her restoration. Smith's no. 4 dock has been out of use for some years-it needs work to its gates and it's pumps need attention. We are discussing possibilities with the owners, PD ports who see our project as a practical solution to the problem of 'our' stricken vessel which lies about 1 mile upstream. Also it could give Teesside another working dry dock (there are only 2 others which are fully operational). Obviously, funding is the key and we're working on it. Fortunately we now have a Teesside rep- it's nonetheless all very tough going, but we are moving forward. The following pics will give you an idea what we're dealing with.






    Also in the following video-in the opening sequence top right is Middlesbrough Football Stadium, adjacent to which 'Dover' is located. Smith's no. 4 dock is the furthest one away,then to the right as the camera pans.
