Liverpool Pilot vessel Kittiwake photographed at high tide on 17 February 2015.
Unfortunately I cannot seem to find much information about this vessel but I have seen her many times over the years working on the river and in the estuary.
She is one of a long line of pilot craft servicing ships headed for Liverpool dating back to 'Nelly' in 1766 which was based in Anglesey. The first pilot boat based at Liverpool was the Liver 7 in 1788 and it was not until 1962 that the first motor launch services were introduced.
In the distance can be seen the Mersey Ferry heading towards Pierhead after crossing the river and one of the Stena Line Ro-Ro Ferries being loaded for its next sailing to Ireland.
