Trail: The Danny

from Full Ahead - the podcast about ships and shipping · host Nigel Thompson

In the next edition of the podcast we're aboard The Daniel Adamson, a remarkable survivor from the steam age. She was built at what is now the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead in 1903 and is a small but powerful tug. She once towed long strings of barges laden with goods from the inland towns of Cheshire and the Potteries to Liverpool. We've been aboard to hear how she was saved from scrap and what the future holds for this remarkable vessel which sounds superb!
