Thomas Anderson, North Shields

I have no information about this shipbuilder.

The shipyard is recorded as being at the "Low Lights", which is at the location of the current North Shields Fish Quay.

The "Low & High Lights" were navigation beacons which when lined up, one above the other, indicated the best approach to the river.

The following is a list of tugs built by Thomas Anderson at North Shields:

Year Name
1829 Jack Tar
1847 Harmony
1847 Onyx
1847 Tarter
1847 War Eagle
1848 James Watt
1848 Waterston (P)
1851 Blyth


One of the vessels stands out as being much earlier than the others and may belong to another builder.
