It has been a busy week and although I have spent most of my time in Liverpool I did mange a trip to Birmingham on Wednesday.
As result over the last few days I have seen quite a few new ships in addition to a great many that I have seen before.
The above picture shows the crude oil tanker Aegean Power at Tranmere.
A list of the new ships seen and added to my list are noted below.

Of particular interest was the ferry Sound of Seil which is a new build spotted on the slipway at Cammell Laird, after the incoming tide lifted her off her cradle she was moved into the main basin.
I am back in Liverpool on Monday so hopefully a few new ships will arrive over the weekend.

Photograph I took yesterday of a capstan on the Liverpool riverfront near the now infilled Kings dock.
These were located both on sailing ships where they were used for lifting sails and heavy spars, transferring cargo and other similar activities as well as on shore to move large ships in and out of the docks by hand.
Bearing in mind its location near to a historic but now sealed entrance into the dock system from the River Mersey I suspect the latter.

A couple of anchors also near Kings dock.
A picture of Pendigo lake in Birmingham. Wednesday was a bad day weatherwise and an early start found me driving for over 100 miles through constant thunderstorms. I took the above picture before lunch just as the rain was easing off, later in the day from this spot I saw quite a number of large carp swimming close to shore just below the surface.
