I wonder if a section is being returned soon. Some ropes were laid out on section 4 and there was some activity around the securing joints (by workmen in the little boat).

Well in Marky :thumbsup:
Going by AIS Liverpool.co.uk and the Wirral Cam it appears that HMS Bulwark is in town. And the Fort George, a naval auxiliary vessel, has just passed the Cammel Laird shipyard.
Busy busy on the River Mersey today.
:PDT_Piratz_26:
Yes, there's at least one in over the weekend.
What's happened to SSC Dave, I usually have a nosey for an hour about 2pm but can't get on?
Sorry, Ged, I don't know. It has been down for quite a few hours now. No surprise there of course. They should get themselves some decent servers!!Quote:

saw on the Echo website that a German cruise ship Astor had docked. I know when some are coming in, but not this one.
so left hubby sanding paintwork and painting the ceiling and I nipped into town to get a couple of pics.
not great pics admittedly, but those over the water or on the ferries would've got a better view.

Cruise ship brings tourists to heart of Liverpool
May 21 2008
by Staff Reporter, Liverpool Daily Post
http://images.icnetwork.co.uk/upl/ar.../12159473.jpeg
THE first cruise liner of the season was welcomed to the new £17m landing stage at Liverpool docks yesterday.
Former dock workers lined the Pier Head to welcome the German ship Astor as it cruised into the Mersey carrying 600 passengers.
She spent the day docked in Liverpool as passengers shopped in the city and took trips to Chester, and round Liverpool’s Beatles story museum.
Astor, which left the city last night, was the first of 16 vessels already booked for the summer season. Passenger spending in the city is expected to boost the economy by some £3m.
Keith Blundell, head of tourism at Liverpool Culture Company said: “It’s very exciting because it’s our first full year of operation.
“The ship is obviously the attraction, but more and more cruise companies are using destinations and ports of call as selling points and that is what is attracting people to them.”
The ship season will culminate with a visit from the QEII and the Balmoral as well as the Grand Princess, a 2,600 passenger American liner, bumping the total estimate of passengers visiting the city to more than 23,500.
A council spokesman said: “At this rate the terminal could pay for itself within the next seven years.”

Fantastic pics, well done for recording the visit.

Well done PhilipG:handclap:

Silver Wind is not in today. She appears on the Port of Liverpool list for today, but I've just checked Silversea's website and Silver Wind is supposed to be going through the Kiel Canal today heading for the Baltic. Perhaps the schedule was changed?
Sean
Grand Princess is due in a few times this summer.
June11th should be the first. :PDT11
and the Black Prince is embarking over 20 cruises from Liverpool over the next 12 months
