Thank you for an excellent presentation of your progress with this project, the Railway was my local in the 1980's, lived on the Promenade and remember there was a wreck uncovered on Meols beach of a wooden craft. Some interest at the time that it may have been of historic importance but for some reason nothing moved forward. I remember it being about 25 - 30 feet long with the keel, frames, stringers and three feet of the planks gunnels remaining, it was about 200 meters out from the Coast guard station at Dovepoint, the Council were aware so may have some detail as would the old boys at the Hoylake sailing club. Thank's again Professor for reminding me of the history of Wirral, I have ordered you book "Igimunds Saga" as some friends are visiting from Denmark who would enjoy a history tour. Best wishes to the team.
Thanks ever so much! Very interesting indeed: It sounds like the same size as "our" vessel although probably not as old - we will certainly check this out. And thanks very much indeed for ordering Ingimunds Saga, I hope your friends enjoy the visit! We have a Wirral Viking Trail pdf and facebook site if you/they are interested!
