Omega...
Did you - by any chance - happen to notice the name of the ship. I think it may be the one I saw in Birkenhead a couple of weeks back.
The one I saw (RFA Fort Rosalie) was absolutely massive and I was so pleased to see a ship like this coming into Birkenhead docks.
Canada Dock is used on a daily basis. The scrap piles are there. What an awful looking sight and indicative of the elimination of the British steel industry when we have to send scrap metal to Taiwan to be melted down.

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?

Good picture, Ged. You have caught the old Liverpool with a new Liverpool being built in the background.

Thanks folks, I was on my way to do those 'now' shots of those old Danensis pics from the 70s and I only just noticed that little view between the two dock buildings, it would look nothing without the masts there I think.

Spot the busker with his painted (cardboard?) guitar.
He's on the floor by Stoniers.
