Glare free working for new pilot cutter

摘要

Tyneside UK based Solar Solve Marine didn't need a pilot cutter to guide them to this order for five of their well known Solasafe and glare roller sunscreens. However, they ended up on one anyway as the screens were for the wheelhouse of the Port of Tyne's new pilot boat Collingwood, which was christened in August of last year by Mrs Collingwood-Cameron, a direct descendent of Lord Admiral Collingwood.rnBorn the son of a Newcastle merchant in 1748, Cuthbert Collingwood first went to sea in 1761 and his connection with Lord Nelson began in the 1770s. It was as Nelson's second in command at the Battle of Trafalgar that Collingwood achieved his greatest notoriety, both as master of his ship the Royal Sovereign and by taking command of the battle on the death of Nelson.
