A quayside view of the foremast of the brig Astrid (1918) moored on the River Tyne during the Cutty Sark Tall Ships Race in July 1993. A wooden derick is to the right of Astrid's foremast along with its running rigging. A yellow poster with Johann Smidt's name and details can be seen on the standing rigging on the right hand side of the image, partially obscured by Astrid's rigging. A tug is underway up the river Tyne in the background. Buildings can be seen on the opposite bank in the background.
