The tugboat Rossmore guiding the cargo ship the Norman Prince through the
Liverpool docks at xmas time in 1968. Notice the Xmas tree tied to the mast
for decoration. This was scanned from one of my old colour slides which very
conveniently always had the date printed on them which saves trying to remember when they were taken.

Took this yesterday from the road bridge by Stanley Dock as I passed on my
bike to go fishing from Waterloo Dock wall.

Lovely photos.
I don't know why, but I've never been to the Stanley Dock with my camera.
Anyone got pictures with ships in it?Quote:

My tribe having a big day out at the pierhead after travelling by bus from
Kirkby.Scouse Greg hadn`t been born yet.I wander where the statues are going when the canal link is finished
gregs dad
Smashing photos, thatnks for sharing them. That one of your daughter in the 'sticky out frock' :) -- really good.
Fabulous pic, gregs dad. I am not surprise that singer songwriter Alun Parry is using it on the cover of his Liverpool 800 album! What's the news about that album? Is it already out or expected out?Quote:

I think you would enjoy the Stanley Dock area Philip. You have the locks at the end of the canal, and I can recommend the the mobile outside the Heritage market they do a big bacon butty and tea. Thats what I had on tuesday after I had taken a few pics then carried on to the Waterloo dock to do a bit of fishing from the wall .Quote:

Even easier now as the bad weather has blown off the fences on where I get In.:PDT_Aliboronz_24:
I'm a great fan of Greg's Dad.
I was very surprised to learn that he wasn't a professional photographer.
Of course I love his black & white photos, but his colour photos from the early 1960s are extremely rare.
Here's one of New Brighton which makes an old bachelor like me feel very broody.

:PDT_Aliboronz_24:The photo with the ship and little girl in it. The ship is a
Shaw Saville ship, not a Bluey. still a great photo, cheers.
Stanley locks dredged some time back, looking towards Stanley Dock and the tobacco warehouse.

Shaw Saville? Any idea of the name? The funnel looks Blue Funnel and does the wasteline.Quote:

3 chimneys at the back belonged to the Clarence Dock power station and were known as the 3 sisters. They were demolished in 1994.
The young lad looks as if he is hanging on to the stern of a barge or narrow boat.
gregs dad
Yes, there's a vessel tied up alongside further up on the right though. Lots more chimney and clarence dock pics on my site: http://pic7.piczo.com/inacityliving/?g=43514575

One of my old slides of the Empress Britain in the old Gladstone graving dock in 1961. She was a frequent visitor to Liverpool before she was sold in 1963to become the Queen Anne Maria. She`s had a few owners and name changes since then like Olympic,Topaz. At the present time she is cruising round the world as The Peace Boat promoting peace, not bad for a 51 year
old lady.
