Vigilant.
Hi all, If you go to the Unseen Liverpool forum,page 15,post 147, there is a picture from Sirob of the "Salvor" and "Vigilant" at Garston,awaiting their last voyage in 1979. Sad end for two ladies of the sea.
Where they ever replaced?Originally Posted by Harbourm
I would love to see those pics of Salvor and Vigilant. Tried the above but failed miserably. Maybe I`m a bit `thick` when it comes to PC`s, but can someone please tell me how to navigate my way to `unseen Liverpool forum` and then to relevant page/ post ? PLEASE !
Ken.
Not so much 'forum' as thread...

REMEMBER, post 147.
Hi T/MAN,
here's a couple of Sirob's pic's, of ships waiting to be broken up,at Garston! The "Salvor",and the "Vigilant" are in amongst them! The mast of the "Vigilant" is now on the roundabout, next to the Liver buildings.

The 671-ton triple expansion steam salvage ship T S SALVOR, was built by Ferguson Bros of Port Glasgow in 1947, as well as a salvage role, she also acted as a buoy tender. The 728-ton T S VIGILANT, built by Thorneycroft in 1953 was a similar buoy, salvage and survey ship. A replacement VIGILANT, of 817 grt, was built by Scheepswerf Waterhuizen BVJ in 1978, but unlike the older steam tenders was powered by twin Ruston diesel engines.
