...a 'collier' is a vessel specifically for the purpose of transporting coal in bulk...therefore your puzzle's vessel must needs be a collier. If looked up on Google, 'collier' specifically reflects the river Tyne and Newcastle as one of the earliest coal shipping ports with such ships; methinks our resident Banks Line 3rd engineer would have solved it by now!?

Based on your comment above, I'm on the right track...just a few trestles short?? The great lakes WWII training carrier, USS LANGLEY was a converted collier
