'It didn't sink!'- Boat launching back on Wearside

Available for over a year

History is made on the River Wear with the launch of what's believed to be the first vessel built in Sunderland since the shipyards closed almost 40 years ago. Jim Scott went to meet the volunteers who built "Lilian" a twenty foot replica of a type of boat which was used to ferry goods and people up and down the coast for centuries.
