Liverpool Yellow Duck Marine sinks
 

Just watching the news and,apparently, a tourist boat has sunk in the Albert Dock. I was watching these boats last year on a day out in Liverpool and thought they looked a bit iffy. Thankfully, there are no reports of fatalities. The Yellow Duck Marines work on land and water, and, to me look like they should stay on terra firma. The Queen and Prince Phillip sailed on one last year during the jubilee celebrations. Must be thinking they'd had a lucky escape!

Just seen this on the news. They have a bad track record the last few years

2nd one to sink in a matter of weeks, went on one when they first started doing the tour about 10 years ago, even with my weight onboard it didn't sink

Come on now frank, this thing was designed in the 40's & it's still going now, that's not to bad an engineering achievement. Anyways there'll be an enquiry as to what happened.

Personally I reckon it was one of the crew pulling the plug when they saw the DHSS officer walking along the dockside so they wouldn't be seen grafting while claiming Jobseekers & incapacity! :D









So before youse start, shut it! I'm a Scouser, I'm allowed to take the Pish! :s_aim1:

It'll be turned to the good just you wait & see, as opposed to the Yellow Duck Marine, they can market it as the Yellow Sunk Marine! :s_aim1:

It's down to lack of investment, if we'd had WW3 when we were supposed to, these craft would be far safer than they are!

apparantly a build up of static from shellsuits caused an electrical fire and it sank

I know a member that would be really proud to hear that, if he wasn't busy ridding the world of moose as we speak.

Re: Liverpool Yellow Duck Marine sinks

You would have thought they would have learned something when they said the titanic could not sink (anything that's made of metal and can float CAN sink)
