Wrecks in the River Mersey
Quote from Ted Scaplehorn on 1 June 2020, 19:09We've received the following request for information from a visitor to the website:
"I am just writing to ask if there is a comprehensive map available to show all of the wrecks that are currently in the River Mersey.
I am aware that there are some well published wrecks around Southport, Formby and Crosby. I have also read recently that there are wrecks around the entrance to the marina. My brother told me there were coaster ships that broke free from Garston docks and were left to sink and as a child I heard there were various wrecks that had been left due to their dangerous cargo.
I would be grateful if you could let me know please , especially as I have seen a wreck that I cannot find a mention of online and would therefore would like to check on. I understand this service may not be available at this time so please respond at your convenience.
Thank you, Kim English"
