It's the correct boat but it doesn't give the reason why it would cause a big problem! That reason was that it collided with the Pierhead and demolished several piles. Everyone was worried that it would completely demolish the end of the pier but, fortunately, it then actually passed under the Pier without causing any further damage as it was blown ashore.
Trinity Church ?
Brilliant question Dave.... BUT... I fear it might happen again!You see that large vessel The Galatea is moored just off the Pier head tonight .... and those gales might make history repeat itself !!SPOOOOKY !!
I'm sure someone said it's working for Trinity House, Bri, renewing buoys and suchlike?
OK - So lets try something a little more difficult: Where is this smart dining room?
