The Fitzcarraldo leaves Liverpool

A longtime resident of the Albert Docks in Liverpool left for the last time today. The Fitzcarraldo is on her way to Holland after being sold. Originally a passenger ferry she was used in Liverpool for entertainment and shows etc by the "Walk the plank" company. Her very original colour scheme will now probably be painted over

Ships on the River Mersey 3rd April

Lots of bright sunshine again today, some ships too ;-)

The coaster Amny Dollard came in for Birkenhead, Bro Granite and Auteuil were inbound for Eastham. The Fitzcarraldo left the Albert dock too today but will do a seperate post.
