Gun Rocks Diver Crew Seahouses Harbour - 1970

UPDATE 21/DEC/2022 - I now know that this crew were on their way to Gun Rocks, and the Tyne Tees (ITV) TV van was there to film a week long documentary, unfortunately which seems to have been lost.

Some archive footage my grandad filmed in 1970 (most likely July) showing a diver crew at Seahouses harbour in Northumberland.

The footage shows their preparations, going aboard a trawler (registration BK2), getting suited up and departing. There is then footage of what looks like a cannon they have retrieved. I see there is a Tyne Tees TV van at the start of the footage, so maybe it was being filmed for a television program.

Near the end, there is second footage of what looks like a diver party in a dingy, I'm not sure if the two parties are connected in any way, although the footage does look like it was filmed on the same day.

This is from recently (2022) digitized cine footage I have had converted. I have upscaled the footage, tweaked the colours, and added a little sharpening.

This cine footage is from the personal archive of T.S Henderson, formerly of George Henderson & Co, Kelso.

It has been digitally restored by his grandson.
