An award-winning steamship will be offering cruises along the waterways of Merseyside and Cheshire this spring.
The 1903 steamship the Daniel Adamson, affectionately known as The Danny, is launching its 2022 programme this month with a rare visit to Canning Half Tide in Liverpool’s Royal Albert Dock. The Danny will offer up to six boat trips a month, ending on Sunday, October 9.
The Danny is the last surviving steam-powered tug built on the Mersey and is part of the official National Historic Fleet, alongside such famous ships as the Cutty Sark and SS Great Britain. Built in 1903, the vessel was originally named the Ralph Brocklebank after a former shipping magnate and chairman of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board.
