Some great historical pictures, fascinating to see the construction of the Liver Building, brilliant!
Love the thought of those hard working dockers playing footie during their dinner hour - nifty move by the bloke in the long trench mac
Thanks Dan!

Couple of photos of the Royal Seaforth Dock construction, from the Sefton Digital* site.
November 27 1969 Construction of the Seaforth passage.
March 25 1970 Aerial view of the construction of the Seaforth passage.
* Sefton Digital hosts a number of facebook-based locally themed sites. Growing up in......, kind of thing.
The Memories of Growing Up in Bootle is a public group. The Waterloo/Seaforth and the Crosby forums are private groups.
Never felt the need to go on FB. If I did, I'd block you all from my facey page.

Photos posted 10 years ago by Harry, probably taken in the 1960's.

Looking at the destruction covid is causing the cruise line industry.
Aliaga in Turkey seems to be getting a lot of the breakerage business.
In the first picture below, it looks like three of the Carnival cruise liners, on the right, are being broken up.
Ships that are due for the breakers yard or have been taken out of commission are below.
1971 - 2020 Black Watch
1973 - 2020 Boudicca
1984 - 2020 Marella Celebration
1986 - 2020 Marella Dream
1988 - 2020 Sovereign
1990 - 2020 Carnival Fantasy
1990 - 2020 Horizon
1991 - 2020 Monarch
1994 - 2020 Carnival Fascination
1995 - 2020 Carnival Imagination
1996 - 2020 Costa Victoria
It's fairly certain there will be more to follow.

The Jules Verne capacity is rated at 16,020 TEU, which is twenty foot equivalent units (containers).
All the real biggies are now 20,000 + TEU.
The Jacques Saadé runs on LNG(liquified natural gas), so it will easily pass any future sulphur emission regulations.
The Jacques Saadé is rated at 23,112 TEU. First voyage was ex Singapore on October 12 this year.

Below is a graphic of the container ship backlog of the US outside the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach on Friday.
The wheels have fallen off the global supply chain for the time being.
From Zero Hedge:
"As a result of the surge in client interest in supply chain issues on the West Coast, Goldman recently introduced the PMI Manufacturing
Suppliers’ delivery times index from IHS Markit to its supply chain congestion tracker. Purchasing managers respond to IHS Markit’s PMI
surveys indicating if it is taking their suppliers more or less time to provide inputs to their manufacturing. Above 50 indicates that supply
delivery times are faster and below indicates that delivery is slower. Manufacturers have reported significant increases in delivery times,
with the current index level in September at 16.6 - down significantly from July 2020 of 47.2."
Extract from a Reuters report, earlier this month, on the situation in Germany.
"BERLIN, Oct 7 (Reuters) - German industrial output suffered its steepest drop in August since April last year, due to supply chain
disruptions that are holding back growth in Europe's biggest economy and hitting the auto sector particularly hard, official data showed
on Thursday.
The Federal Statistics Office said industrial output fell by 4.0% on the month after an increase of 1.3% in July.
A Reuters poll had pointed to a decline in August of 0.4%."
