View from the Bergen ferry. What interested me about this scene was that when we were arriving in Stavanger we were greeted with similar Riggs in for maintenance. However the Stavanger coast does not suffer the kind of run down dereliction that is now evident in this part of South Tyneside. See NZ3566 : Former Readhead shipyard, South Shields
