"Charlotte Rhodes" in Belfast
Image: © The Carlisle Kid Taken: 30 Sep 1975
Star of the 1970s BBC television series “The Onedin Line”, the “Charlotte Rhodes” was a three-masted topsail schooner. She got into difficulties off Belfast Lough on 27 September 1975 and, with assistance from the Donaghadee Lifeboat, put in to Belfast for repairs. Dry-docked in Belfast Harbour Commissioners No. 2 Graving Dock, repairs were undertaken by A W Hamilton & Co Limited and “Charlotte Rhodes” returned to Dartmouth in mid-October. She was lost some time in the 1980s. Most of the Belfast harbour area was closed to the public in the 1970s and patrolled by the Harbour Police. Photograph was taken with assistance from A W Hamilton & Co Limited. Given the passage of time and significant changes to the area, location is the best I can do.
