This is the Royal Navy ship HMS Bulwark which is in Liverpool for a visit after taking part in an operation off the west coast of Scotland.
It's an amphibious warship which transports Royal Marines and puts them ashore by landing craft or helicopter. The ship's captain was interviewed by local media and said “The ship’s company and I are particularly looking forward to getting thoroughly re-acquainted with such a fantastic and lively city with so much to offer.” I think that means they're planning a night out.
I was interested to see a tractor on the deck and just a lone person on duty, he must have drawn the short straw.
I found myself at the Pier Head with camera in hand but the memory card was still in the computer at home so this is taken on my phone. Lesson learnt - again!
Lovely sky and shot.
