This vessel is a 16 foot salmon fishing boat that was donated to the Trust by Mrs Susan Mackiver, having been used by her late husband Robert for fishing off Whitburn beach, just south of South Shields.

Spring Tide was built, at Whitburn, by shipwrights Billy and Jimmy Ray. She is a typical small seagoing rowing boat as used in the region.
