EAST QUAY MOORINGS - 1990'S
Unusual Vistitors
By Laurie Stonehouse
Shieldhall is a former Mersey sludge carrier, now converted to carry passengers on nostalgic steam trips.
Greenpeace is the former Dutch salvage tug Elbe, of 1959. After a multi-faceted career, she has been fully restored to her original appearance, as shown in the extra photo I have added.
As for Walk the Plank, I seem to recall that this vessel was part of what might best be termed 'maritime theatre' or 'maritime arts'.
