A sea giant in Sunderland
Callan Matthews shared the latest clip with us and it shows the Inter Ocean 2 oil rig which came to the River Wear for an overhaul in 1984.
The cine reel was taken by Reg Machin more than 40 years ago - and kept in a shoebox for safe keeping ever since.

Callan, 23, said his grandad would be thrilled to see his 'amazing footage' viewed by Echo followers.
