Photographs © John H. Luxton  & Ian Collard 2006

On the evening of May 06, the Ravestein SKYLINE BARGE #15 was noted passing Formby Lightfoat under tow of the 1965 vintage tug PRINCETON (ex Kapitan Engler - Germany)  of Evelegh's Griffen Towage, Dorking, Surrey.

The "spudjack" barge departed Rotterdam on April 28 bound for the Mersey. It is to be initially located north of the Prince's Landing Stage until the remains of the George's Landing Stage are removed. When it will be relocated to the south opposite the Mersey Ferries Terminal. The relocation is unlikely to happen before September.

On arrival off Langton the PRINCETON and her tow were met by Svitzer's Thorngarth and entered the Liverpool Dock system.
