Following on From N1094s report approximately a year ago it was time for a revisit and update. The owner has now passed away and due to H/S some taller parts have been moved and chopped up.

Old report is here

This turns out to be the "M.V. Sound of Seil" of Western Ferries of Glasgow.
She was built as the "M.V.Freshwater" for British Rail in 1959 by the Ailsa yard at Troon for Isle of Wight Service.
Scrapped at Garston 1997

The London & North Western Railway Company built Garston Dock in 1853 as a rival to the Mersey docks. From the dock, Lancashire coal and timber were shipped to Ireland. For over a century, bananas were one of the major imports.

It was also used for ship breaking, Garston dock dismantled its last two steamers in 1978. These you can see below (just !)



One of which was the "Sound of Seil"



What you find now is mainly at ground level or should i say under the tide level









From what i can make out this was the main engine room but it only appears to have about half its height judging by the ladder, unless the crew where all midgets !!



Whats left of one of the steam ships furthest into the channel gets covered at each days tides and part of a top deck with the wood decking just about surviving.



Finally the parting shot once the local chavs descended for the night



Its a bit pic heavy but its all rusty metal porn on a grand scale



beach combing ware



The mega pano , i know its a wierd size byt its a big pano ?

cheers all
