Another sun drenched and warm day in Lancashire today so it was desided on that we would go off to Blackpool to take a look at the stricken vessel Riverdance which beached in bad weather a couple of weeks ago . I have been adding some of photos I took to the GALLERY which are much larger than the one shown (Above) .I must say I haven't seen so many folks in Blackpool in Febuary and especially men with cameras .
Then just as we got home and I prepared to upload the photos a knock on my front door and there was BOB DOBSON who had come over from Blackpool to Oswaldtwistle to drop me off some books ---What a pleasure to see you Bob and THANK YOU for your generosity and I hope we can make it to the PLOUGH next Tuesday when I am going back to Blackpool to watch the righting and refloating of Riverdance .
John, at least the crew and passagers got of safely, it could have been worse, those type of ships can tip over in very bad weather he should not have sailed he would have saved the ship with the passangers, i was watching a programme on the TV about vehicle carries, they carry less ballast so they can use speed to get from A to B quickly.
