Jim,

Do you have any from the Tiger's visit in 1964.

Hello Barry, came across this poor quality photo which was printed in the Sunderland Echo, not sure if it was 1965 - I was on my way East on the Ark then.

Hi Barry, there is also a Tiger crest in the bar at Sunderland Yacht Club, so it was probably presented during that visit. Visiting RN ships are few and far between these days, Whats left of the fleet is probably overstretched. I see the next RN ship to be adoped by Sunderland is the Submarine HMS Anson, so it is very unlikely that she will be a visitor.

Sad days in deed, when we did a cruise of the UK on Tiger visiting Hull, Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Belfast, Glasgow, Liverpool and Cardiff in 1965, the hospitality was overwhelming and the likes of which will never be seen again.

Here she is in Middlesbrough.

Christmas Day, so I had a brisk walk along the riverside today, not many people about, except those walking their dogs. Federal Hudson arrived Sunderland on Christmas Eve and the crew are making ready to discharge the cargo after the holidays No doubt more steel for the Nissan works.
