olb - lifeboat regatta Tyne
This postcard was labelled as a Tyne Pilots convention. I disagree. It shows a Lifeboat Regatta, these took place as regular challenges between lifeboat crews to time rowing over a set route. Of course, "visiting" crews had to get there, and local "lightweight" boats such as Rubie class "William Riley" would have had *some* advantage. It is possible that Pilots would be crew members, along with local fishermen and seafarers.
