Was this picture taken before or after the legs of the barge were cut off? I watched them shortening the legs, it was a good piece of engineering.

I think it was before the legs were shortened. Editors

The picture was taken about 0700, before the ferry arrived. When Colin Greenall was just making a final check before sending his team up to start cutting off the top sections of the legs.

Are the shortened legs the large steel tubes that are stored on the west beach?

The tubes are now being cut up!
