Hi just to let you know it is this Saturday the group are meeting at 6.30 not 1st June as I previously said.....apologies. There is a clean up on the 1st and was talk about tying it in with that, but the group have settled on this week. They are asking if people can bring any driftwood, rope or anything else you think would be suitable. The artist Frank Lund is over whelmed by the reponse and has said he will be there. If any of you are on FB all details are on Wallasey memories and old pics of liscard, wallasey and Merseyside. Really sorry about mix up with date guys. I went to NB tonight looking for wood but nothing there so might be worth going further afield. Thanks x

The ship has been built with driftwood and other items that have been washed up. But, I cannot see them turning away any items, it is just really nice to see the community pulling together to get the Black Pearl rebuilt. I struggled finding stuff last night but that the end of the day we do not have to complete the build on Saturday, at least we have made a start. I have heard that it took the artist three months just to collect the wood, and after looking last night I can see why smile. Everyone is welcome. Thanks Chip x

I thought the only reason the council had left the sculpture was because it was made of things found on the beach and he wasn't allowed to add anything not found or left by tide. on this note i don't think new wood would be allowed....but love the community spirit

With all this cold weather "shiver me timbers" quite apt.

This is a great shame, took my young nephew to see this and it really got his imagination going.

On a brighter note, I passed earlier today and work appears to be in progress to reconstruct the ship, despite the fact the tide was in and waves were lashing over the prom. Kudos and well done to these guys.

It was on Radio Merseyside today that Frank intends to repair the pirate ship and was appealing for the public to bring scrap wood to the site on Saturday (not sure if it means this Saturday or Sat June 1st) but the good news is that he intends to restore the damage done by the six little sh@ts ....
well done Frank......
