My grandad used to work on the tugs, I dont know much about when but his name is george derbyshire, an used to work in the wallasey and liverpool regions if anyone remembers him or has any more information about life working on the tugs could you please forward it to my email address, as my grandad has just had his seventieth birthday and it would be lovely if i could make a scrap book, out of old memories of working on the tugs.thanks

Just like to say that being a DAPS working party member,it is a pleasure to be part of a great team,the commitment and endeavour that the working parties put in to get this great tug back into steam and sailing again is something to behold, we are all determined to accomplish our goal.
Excellent web site, well done. Thank you for the write up on the previous Daniel Adamson vessel and for showing the photograph of my great grandfather with the crew. Keep up the hard work, I wish you every success you certainly deserve it. Good luck in the future. Graham Savage Stockport

The best of luck in the restoration of the Adamson. She did go in to the Mersey in the late 1970s for a drydock when Manchester Drydocks shut down for a time. I was the Group Supt. at Old Quay Workshops at the time.
Totally agree that a continually updated website is needed to ensure confirmation of the continued activity on a project. Dormant websites are a bind and a big turn off. Pity you are missing the big bus and tram show at Birkenhead this year. However you might try getting in on the Merseyside Model Railway Society exhibition weekend to be held at Pacific Road 26-27-28 Oct. Try contacting the society via the internet - search for the title.
I am amazed at the progress being made on the D A ,I am very grateful to Neil for his very informative and illustrated updates as i am retired and my health does not permit visiting the U K,so you see Neil,your efforts allow us old fellows to see their old memories of the area again,I wish you all fair wids and happy sailing i hope to see D A back in steam soon best regards... doug livens
