The Black Midden rocks, the Herd Sands and the Tynemouth Bar made entering or leaving the river difficult. This was especially true before the piers were built and the river was dredged. Sailing ships lacked the power of engines and didn\'t have modern navigational aids like radar.); 穢 Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums; English, out of copyright.
