I got a Mk1 Capri, 2 Anglias, a Wolseley (1800?), and maybe a Ford Corsair, at least one Mini, possibly two, and I think the end one on the right may be a Vauxhall Viva. The third one from the end on the right has me stumped, going to take a stab at a Hillman Hunter.
Picture is circa 1969/70 as a guess?

As pondrew said, it was Swans on the Tyne at Wallsend.
It popped up on another search today and I wonder how we move huge volumes of crude around these days?
We certainly don’t have the shipbuilding skils to build ships like that anymore.
