Footage of the iconic Tuxedo Princess floating nightclub leaving Gateshead's Quayside for the last time being guided through the Millennium Eye Tilting Bridge on Sunday 27th July 2008 at 0817hrs. Further evidence surely that the introduction of modern high profile buildings continue to take precedent over the historical grain of Newcastle and Gateshead's forgotten past. Should we be counting the days before the relocation of the North East's principle Training Centre for the Royal Navy: HMS Calliope? And was the Tuxedo pushed or did it jump???? RIP.

  • How sad I hadn't realised she had gone! Many a happy night spent there over the years.....

  • @BuzbyWuzby Well the boat used to be thee place to go in its pride it was popular with celebritys it died the death when more clubs opened inthe city centre and and the wrong crowd moved in from 2003ish. But yeh i miss the Cooperage not sure why it shut down think it was due to the decline of quayside.

  • I have so many fantastic memories on this boat. I thought the revolving dancefloor was life changing!

    It's a shame they let it get in a state - it's like seeing a friend leave!

  • It really was a heap by the end like, shame it was left to get in that state...

  • @Everestlad It's spelt "bass" by the way...

  • I was on the tuxedo a few times in Glasgow, i also got knocked back a couple of times for being too pissed, not easy walking up a sloping gangplank tryin to look sober with 3 or 4 bouncers watching you, good days.

  • I was a student in Newcastle for four years and in all that time I never once set foot aboard this rusting relic and I am extremely proud of it. However, I was sad to hear about The Cooperage closing down; now there is something worth saving!

  • Im so gutted it is gone ive got some fond memories...I nearly shed a tear watching this
