Great photo Peter.

There are about 20 ships in that photo of various sizes, how many would be in that view today.

Just shows the decline in shipping but it’s not as simple as that, ships got bigger different cargos etc.

The dock was filled in a few years ago.

Well aware of the docks being filled in.

I doubt that you now get 20 vessels moored in the Tyne at any one time. Ignoring small craft.

What a super picture Peter. Looks like a miniature Harbour. Thank you.
