It was the stern section of U534 whose turn it was to make the short journey from East Float to Woodside on March 13, 2008. |
|
The small section containing the electric motors
was due to move on March 14 with the bow section following on Saturday March
15. Eddie writes: "Incidentally, the self propelled bogie has 64 wheels,
costs three million pounds and if you want one there is a five year wait but
it's an amazing piece of kit. I was also told that Merseytravel paid one
Euro for the submarine If I remember right U534 had a three million
pounds price tag on her not too long ago so. The red blocks she is standing
on will be removed later and she will rest on the ground with wooden decking
up to the level of the inner deck for visitors to look inside her from, and
the four tons of artefacts will be on display in the new visitor centre.
