A mystery from my Manx trip. Spotted in Liverpool, while we waited to board the ferry, was this boat with a crane on the end of it. Oddly, I didn't take many photos, mostly because the view was obscured by the plans you canjust see in shot.
Had I managed to bag the name of the vessel, we could have looked it up, but in this case, Buddleia stopped play!
Looks like MSC BUFFALO.

Excellent spot - a quick dig online provides lots of photos - https://www.vesselfinder.com/vessels/details/235083197
ReplyDeleteWhat a cracking model it would make. But only after I built the other 50 or so projects I have ideas and kits for!

ReplyDeleteOddly the ship Chris's model is based on has ended its days about eighteen miles from here as a target on the Holbeach range. There is very little left today
