Great photo, i'd love a boat.
Now can anyone help. Please excuse my thicknessness, but does anyone know what the term "Liverpool Bar" means out in the mersey. Is there something physically there or does it refer to the narrowness of the navigation ? Is there a lighthouse there to replace the one time pilot lightboat?
It`s an imaginary line seperating the River Mersey from the Irish Sea

Fine photograph, Joe. Also thanks for definining what the Liverpool Bar is. I of course remember references to the Bar Lightship. Do I understand from underworld's post that the lightship is no longer there? Thanks in advance for that information.

Is there anything at the bar to replace it GD?
There's nothing imaginary about it. The previously manned lightship was replaced by a large unmanned automatic buoy known as the Bar Racon (an acronym for Radar Beacon). It is positioned just west of the entrance to the main shipping channel into the Mersey. You can see its exact position in the centre of the attached screenshot taken from the AIS site a few minutes ago.

Great stuff guys.
The new Amsterdam at Liverpool?

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?
