It actualy shipwrecked closer to cleveleys, in the first few weeks of it's "crash" i spent most of my time taking trips to the beach to spend time with a girl, countless people from all over came to see it. it's not just a boat. it's a symbol of Cleveleys/Blackpool, a symbol of rebirth. riverdance got chopped up and buried, but in its death arose a monument. a monument which stands for all the towns surrounding it. a new clevelys/Blackpool is being formed, bigger, better, than ever before! : )

Tiger
It should be recycled properly and i am glad they are safely removing it

Adam

Shortly after the Riverdace was wrecked, a mother and her kids stopped me in Blackpool town centre and asked directions to the ferry. I sent them to Knott End

When i first saw it on the news i realy felt sorry for the people on there. But a couple of weeks ago i found out my dad and grandparents was on the boat (James Mcgivern Dad) and i thank the RAF for rescuing them beacuse the boat Could of capsised and killed them so im so thankful that they got there in time!

Barrington Blythe
Shame she wasn't on Southport beach it'd be more fun than the fun fair

jonpaul jamieson
just back from a week at blackpool, the view from my window meant i could see the riverdance from my window,so after a few days i went down to see it but wasn't allowed near it,the latest i heard was that it's going to be broke up.

jessica burnle
the riverdance is going to be chopped up because it won't float out

Dec
The problem is they acted to late. It's typical, if they had salvaged it within the first week or two it would of been much easier whearas now its 100 degrees in the sand. Typical Blackpool

jess-burnley
the riverdance has nearly made me win the grandnational because the riverdance went no-where so i backed no-where.

SUBDAY 6/04/08,JUST COME BACK FROM VIEWING THE RIVERDANCE,QUITE IMPRESSIVE SITE,RIGHT ON IT'S SIDE NOW. CAN NOT SEE HOW THEY ARE GONNA MOVE IT.BLACKPOOL COUNCIL SHOULD PAY TO MAKE IT SAFE!THEN USE IT HAS A TOURIST ATTRACTION. IT CERTAINLY BRINGING IN THE PUNTERS,IT COULD ALSO MAKE AN ARTIFICAL REEF MORE SEA WILDLIFE, ANY ENTREPENERS OUT THERE.

jon

Re: comment by Andy. "It's only a ship, what is the matter with you people,Get a life.".....& this is only a web-page, reading and commenting not compulsory.I too, don't feel the need to personally view the Riverdance, but equally there's no need to criticise those who do.

carole
where is it exactly ? as in directions... sad i know bu i want to come for a nosy !

HI Ian
I think the riverdance is going no where in fact there is a good chance it will become a land mark

Hi John
The bad weather means the ferry is sinking into the sand. We believe the salvagers are now looking at moving the ferry next week. Watch the video at the top right hand side of this page to see the latest news!

john dean (nelson)
could somebody tell me what date the river dance will be refloated.

James Innes
considering the army of personell manning the exclusion zone and removing trailers,yesterday the beach north of the ship was litttered with plastic cups and some sort of lagging material.

Kevin Holmes
Another great job from the lads of the RNLI and coastguard.....Keep up the good work....

John Gwilliam. Bridgwater, Somerset.
Thanks for all the photographs. Down the South West this item made the news for a couple of days and was then forgotten.

mason molloy
I wish it could be on Blackpool beach

Andrew Merrill
Really good and evocative pic Darren. Says so much about the situation and what is surrounding it.

David B
We have a life. And its OUR ship beached on off our prom, so why not have a look at it (I bet you have). I think ALL the photographs are very good well done to you all

Andy.
It's only a ship, what is the matter with you people,Get a life.

Mike
Southerners got BMW bikes and we norvern monkeys get soggy biccys.. No justice... No justice at all.

Joanne in Italy
what a spectacular photo. wish I could come over for a closer look.

keith , Carleton
local line dancers up in arms as Riverdance comes to Cleveleys

Paul Morris
Why has nobody reported the item washed up on Fleetwood beach which was recovered by people wearing protective clothing and are the children who were seen playing near it safe from hazards?

kay from Blackpool
Hadn't realised how near to the sea front the ship was. Traffic is still busy northbound on the prom going up to Anchorsholme as far back as the Gynn roundabout so I wasn't tempted to go and have a look!

mike g. cleveleys
The beach at cleveleys is now covered in mcvities half covered chocolate biscuits from the Riverdance, Its not Whisky Galore, more like Biscuit Galore!
