    Wow = takes me back a long time.
    I went to it for a short while then on to Butler street then on to Boaler St.

    I also remember the school hall in White Rock next to the school.
    Queued up for Free school meals (Mash, stew with lumps of fat and watery cabbage followed by lumpy custard and stemed dough.) on many a holiday.
    The food done me no harm I am still here.

    Although never wetting her bottom with Mersey water she never-the-less carries the name of her port of registry emblazoned on her stern. Taken in December 2005.

    This ship put gallons of Mersey brine under her keel. She is the Star of India. Built in the Isle of Man she now rest at the maritime museum in San Diego in sunny California.

    Is the Maritime Museum not interested in it ?

    Surely a piece of history like this should be kept on Merseyside whatever the cost.

    I never did pass it. I gave up the sea a few years befor it was put in place.

    Its a unique vessel, not sure if they have shown an interest. Its almost on par with the moving of the gormley statues, we shouldn't let it happen.

    The Mersey Lightship is a very unique vessel. I am not sure but I think it is the last surviving one of its kind.
    I did not have the pleasure (yes it was) to pass this as I gave up the sea in 1957.

    I ask you as a newspaper to use all the power and publicity you have to help to keep this ship in Liverpool. Our city has lost too much of its Maritime history.
    Please act in some way.

    Default Mersey Bar Lightship

    Unsure if we have posted this before on Yo, I recall photos and a thread about the Lightship

    Please vote [leave a message] to save the Mersey lightship restored in the Albert Dock, there are those who want to take it to Manchester, more of our heritage could be lost

    I hope this is in the correct place.

    Many ships on this site have a Liverpool/Merseyside connection

    http://www.photoship.co.uk/

    If you are looking for a ship I think this is the place to start.
