Woodside Ferry to be new home for rescued U-boat

My pics of U534, news story by Liam Murphy Liverpool Daily Post

A GERMAN U-boat which was part of Wirral’s historic warship collection is to be moved to Woodside Ferry terminal as a spectacular new visitor attraction.
Merseytravel announced plans to rescue the stricken U534 which has lain on Birkenhead docks since the warships museum closed last year.
The U-boat, which was launched in February 1942, will be re-sited at the Woodside Ferry Terminal, and plans submitted to Wirral Council include a visitor exhibition centre, which will also house artefacts from the submarine.
The boat will be cut into three sections for transportation to its new site by water, using a floating crane.
When it arrives at Woodside, huge, high-quality glazed panels installed over the end of each section will allow visitors to see inside the submarine from specially-built viewing platforms.
Neil Scales, chief executive and director general of Merseytravel, which owns and operates the Mersey Ferries, said the plan to create the attraction at Woodside would reaffirm the position of the ferries as the region’s most popular paid-for attraction.
Mr Scales said: “We are still in negotiations with specialists about moving U534, but work can start as soon as we receive planning permission which, we anticipate, will be in September.”
He added: “Our scheme will also complement the wider regeneration of the Woodside development, which is the subject of a master plan.”
U534 was never involved in active combat during WWII but used for training and later meteorological purposes.
On May 5, 1945, the U-boat was sailing in the Kattegat, northwest of Helsingor and ordered to surrender, but refused to do so. Without flying a flag of surrender, she was attacked and took heavy damage, with 49 of the 52 crew members surviving.
David Ball, head of housing and regeneration at Wirral Council, said the authority was “supportive” of the plans, which he said could “do for Woodside what Spaceport has done for Seacombe”.

DISNEY DOZEN

IT IS OF COURSE THE CHARACTERS THAT MAKE DISNEY, DISNEY AND AT 50 GOING ON 5 I LOVE ALL THE CHARACTERS. EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM. OK SO I KNOW THE HARD WORK THAT GOES IN TO CREATING THE DREAM/MAGIC AND ON THE PLANE COMING HOME FROM PARIS THIS GUY I THINK HE WAS TRYING TO CHAT ME UP ACTUALLY BUT THAT WOULD ONLY BE DISCLOSED ON THE GUTTER PRESS ASKED ME WHY I'D BEEN TO PARIS. "TO VISIT MY SON" "DOES HE WORK THERE?" "YES AT DISNEYLAND" "OH HE'S NOT ONE OF THOSE PRATS THAT GOES ROUND DRESSED AS F***ING GOOFY IS HE?""NO F***ING PLUTO ACTUALLY"
NEEDLESS TO SAY HE DIDN'T SAY ANOTHER WORD TO ME!!

Most people can name their favourite Disney character!

Or E mail me I might just send it back to your in box!!

REAL NATURE AT DISNEY

It's not all characters, parades and princesses at Disney Paris you know. The top picture is a real crane, I had to look twice I must admit but there it was in all its majesty it moved and I still wasn't convinced until it flew away. Fortunately I'd already taken the pic then - just in case! A proud mother with her two babies.
Not been to well up on ducks I'm just calling this a white duck!!

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The supreme happiness in life is the conviction that we are loved --
loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.

-- Victor Hugo

TAKE FIVE FRIDAY Part 2 Take 10!

Finally Take Five Friday on Saturday! Don't blame me!
As promised Disneyland Resort Paris
Five taken from the same spot in Town Square

Well seemingly the lap top although it was an assett with me in Paris is equally not prepared to download any pictures to this blog though it will to The Gutter Press, looks like I've got some IT work to do then doesn't it? So it might not be Take Five Friday by the time it's sorted. Maybe Tke Five Friday on Saturday! It's actually more than likely blogger and not the lap top anyway.

In the meantime then :
