Construction is under way on the first Mersey Ferry in more than 60 years.
Liverpool City Region Mayor, Steve Rotheram, visited the Cammell Laird shipyard in Birkenhead, today, where the £26m vessel will be built, to celebrate a landmark steel cutting event.
The hull is beginning to take shape thanks to more than 90,000 metres of welding, and a total of 327 tonnes of steel, creating the backbone of the impressive vessel.
