H1HU Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Studying the pictures and the satelite image it is possible to work out just exactly where LCT 7074 is. She has been moved to the northern side of the the pier/pontoon which is why I couldn't work out the relationship to Mersey Ferries.

Hoseman Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Shes still there and not changed much from foto. Went there this morning, gates open so went along side her. Just a bit of the landing doors showing (ramp?) and the stern cabin and funnel above the water line. Very sad to see her in this state, even for a none boaty like me!! Only had my broke fone with me and couldnt take pics. Picked up my new repaired fone this afternoon and was passing but gates locked.

polecat paul Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Good luck with trying to deal with Peel ports,not sure if anyone followed HMS Plymouth but to cut a long story short they sold that for scrap threw a company they set up just for it, once ship went to Turkey they wound the company up so not to leave a paper trail. They are only interested in profit and not our heritage to them they are just scrap!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topdog Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Shame to see 7074 in that state. My Dad was skipper of 7073 on D-Day and after. Unfortunately that was scrapped after he was demobbed. He saw her in the breakers and was too upset to ask for the wheel or Bell, it was one of his big regrets. At least we have some charts and other stuff from the day.
