gibbo62 > 21.08.08 21.08.08 Eleven days on and not much left of the Riverdance. But I have been informed there is at least another 2 weeks of work left due to the 15 or so feet of the ship buried under the sand

Some of the scrap cut from the ships hull
gibbo62 > 10.08.08 After a bit of a wander round I take four shots to hopefully record the demise of this wreck.
I will need to drop down to the ship (Riverdance) next week some time.... and catch the final few cuts of the wreck (Yes take some more photos) .... sad eh!
gibbo62 > 10.08.08 Well we are comming to the end of a bit of a saga, so what are we going to do when this goes ??
gibbo62 > 10.08.08 The Riverdance cargo ship
Riverdance ran aground off the coast of Cleveleys - Lancashire on the 1st Feb 08
The CoastGuard fence off 400m of coast round the ferry & mount a 24hr watch (Bouncers from town).
The ship was built in 1977
Capacity for 55 vehicles
Is 115m in length
The ship carries cargo but was also allowed to take up to 12 passengers
And used to cross the Irish Sea twice a day, but not any more... just a trip to the scrap yard.
13.09.08 Digging the remains from the sand.
