Hidden in Birkenhead docks is the Kings old minehunter HMS Bronington. Unfortunately left to sink and rot. Whenever Im in the area I do a quick flight to see how its doing. I sometimes bump into some of the lads that were trying to save it so I pass on an update when I can although I think its too far gone now and the skills are lost to bring it back anyway. This time around I decided to get a pano for something a bit different. Enjoy.

Hi mate.
You will probably remember the U boat used to be off in the distance just after the brick building next to the second bridge.
Many years ago it was almost scrapped but was bought by Merseytravel to be an exhibit at woodside ferry terminal and chopped into 3 moveable sections by a large diamond cable saw.
Some would say Mersey travel havnt done the best job of looking after it, it was recently repainted with a much more glossy and lighter grey against the advice of the previous team that looked after it.
