William Butler Yeats - P63 (IMO: 9751494)

The Irish naval vessel William Butler Yeats (P63) sailing past Sunderland, with Roker lighthouse in the foreground. The WBY was commissioned in 2016 and is the newest vessel in the Irish Naval Service (An tSeirbhís Chabhlaigh). Sadly the light was already fading resulting in a less than optimal photo of an unusual visitor to the region.
