The Riverdance Ferry is almost fully removed from the sea. Her starboard is now the only part remaining, but as it lies under the sea it's not that simple to get to and clear away. The work force go out at roughly 4a.m. (depending on the tide times as they do change daily) to start working on her. They get between 2 and 4 hours a morning to work before the tide cuts them off again. It takes an hour and a half to pump out the excess water and remove the sand that has buried her since they last got to work on her. If they're lucky they then get another hour and a half to dig the last parts of her out. Then the tide comes back in, covers her again with sand and water until the next day when it's back to square one and start it all again!! It is thought that this will take another couple of weeks to remove it all.



 A massive operation saw her cut up into manageable sized pieces to be taken from the shore line bit by bit. My video below shows her in the sea in February this year, the day after she had been stranded at Cleveleys. I put it on You Tube and it's had over 18,000 hits in total!! She's been such a massive tourist attraction to Cleveleys, Blackpool and Fleetwood. When it first happened you couldn't get near her to have a look, with all the cars blocking the streets. After a couple of days and a bit of looting she was given round the clock security for everyones' safety really. People were actually stood beneath her when the tide was out as you could walk all round her with no regard for their own safety.
