Forums Forums Local News Cranes Arriving for Liverpool2

Looking through binoculars tonight
it looks as if the second northernmost
crane has just been transferred to the
quay.

Taken this afternoon.
Two cranes on left are on
the quayside while the three
on right are still on the ship..

Thanks for the continuing updates Wally. To backtrack a little... in the earlier Wirralcam shot from the Wallasey shore, is that the "Egg" buoy in shot? Green con. job? Can't make out the lettering on it.

From my position which is close to SS Peter & Pauls
Dome webcam, the green conical buoy most likely to be
in shot looking at the Liverpool2 cranes is the "Brazil"
buoy close to the Fort. The next buoy south is a yellow/
black cardinal buoy "Tower" opposite the Tower grounds.
Next further south opposite Egremont is the green conical
"Egg" buoy.

Many thanks Wally.
