The vessel is being moved across the river to the old McNulty's yard tomorrow for further lying up.
The reason that it is such a monster isn't due to its GWT more the volume that it's cargo takes. If anyone wants boring to death let me know

Seems it's been sold and set sail today after 11 months moored in the Tyne. U776 entering the South Docks in Sunderland in July 1945. The surrendered German U Boat was on a tour up the South and East coast from Weymouth to the Shetlands before she was sunk off the coast of Northern Ireland in deep water along with 155 other U Boats as part of Operation Deadlight.
U1023 also toured up the West coast before having the same fate. They were shown to the public, who could have a unique opportunity to inspect them and make donations to the King George’s Fund for Sailors, a charity set up after the devastation of the First World War to help people affected by the war at sea.
Not a pic but a video showing how much a container ship flexes in high seas..... Spoiler it's enough to make me go

Fascinating, I had never heard of Operation Deadlight.U1023 also toured up the West coast before having the same fate.
