Riverdance off Blackpool part 2

[copperband]

Went to have a look, and photograph the stricken vessel before it's due to be cut up for scrap, yesterday was cold and cloudy so went again this evening to watch the sunset. Seemed kind of fitting as today is the anniversary of the Titanic sinking, well they are both ships












There is another huge wreck that is actually divable in the vicinity...only on high tide mind

Great piccies.

There is something very undignified and sad about a boat ending its life on the beach. Much better for it to sink. Like a burial at sea I suppose.

If I was the owners or insurers I'd have someone nuggets on the chopping block over the eventual outcome.

I'll pop up tommorow and bid her bon voyage before she gets all cut up.

I can't see them pulling the bridge out of that mud, I reckon bits of it will be there for a long while.
Oh and whilst you're there try and wind up the security guards, friggin jobs worths tried to stop me walking on the steps this evening with the tide in. Like I'm gonna wade out there in jeans and trainers to try and steal something (soggy choccy biscuits), carrying expensive camera gear. To$$ers.

I know a man who knows a man who works for United Utilities. Apparently they own the headland just opposite the boat. The knobs trying to organise everybody on the sea front were quite surprised to find that out. They tried to prevent UU vans from accessing their pumping station there.

I wonder what they'd do if some divers turned up in their kit and statred wading into the sea?

Probably think 'Fukcin clowns'

Paul
I love those pics, especially the sunset ones. Is there a date for when they start cutting her up? I am hoping to see her before they do that. Green incoming.
