Mersey movements 4th Dec....Moondance






Went to get small coaster Merit on her way into Birkenhead docks and Moondance came out of the Lairds yard! this was unexpected. Moondance is the sistership of Riverdance which ran aground off Blackpool earlier in the year, she was scrapped in place as she could not be recovered. Stolt Petrol was leaving the docks and a RN patrol craft came out of the Albert dock marina
