Excellent snaps AD .
Last few and I'm off to bed soon. Early start tomorrow and back in Liverpool on Tuesday
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?
Save Liverpool Docks and Waterways - Click
Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
canals to view its modern museum describing
how it once was?

Looks similar to 'Mersey Venture', pictured here near Kings dock (Feb 2004)

Why was the ship high and dry on the river wall? At Brombrough they berth ships in the tidal river and unload on the river wall, and they alwo rest on the bottom too. Ships now have flat keels, not like older ships with round keels.
This makes port facilities cheaper with no lock gates to maintain.

I have a feeling that the Mersey Venture was having some repair work to one of its' propellers...I seem to recall one of them was very shiny (maybe new?). The tide was out a very long way at the time.
It's the only time I've seen a ship at that location, right up against the river wall opposite the Kings dock car park.
