The boat was tugged from its Gateshead moorings on Sunday but fog soon forced it to tie up in North Shields. | |
It is expected to leave for the Greek port of Piraeus on Monday afternoon. | |
It is thought it may now be converted into a restaurant. | |
A £10m office complex is proposed for the ship's former home on the Gateshead quayside. |
