This is a reworked version of one of my most popular shots
The Riverdance
This Ro-Ro ferry became beached at Cleveleys, Lancashire beginning of 2008
Info on Riverdance from Wikipedia :The Riverdance was a RORO ferry formerly in service with Seatruck Ferries on the Irish Sea. Riverdance was hit by a wave on the 31 January 2008 which caused her cargo to shift and she was eventually beached at Blackpool, very close to the border with Cleveleys. Attempts to refloat her failed, and she was scrapped on site during 2008.
Her normal route was Heysham – Warrenpoint. She has a sister ship, the Moondance, which is currently in service with Seatruck. She was a cargo vessel, but she sometimes carried passengers, under UK maritime law she was able to carry up to 12 passengers.
