Resurgam - the submarine
Image: © Richard Hoare Taken: 16 Feb 2013
The Resurgam, the world's second mechanically propelled submarine, was designed and patented by a Manchester clergyman called Reverend George William Garrett. This is a replica of one of the two Resurgam submarines that were built in 1878-79, was built in 1997 and is on display close to the Woodside terminal of the Mersey Ferry in Birkenhead, Wirral. For more detail particularly on the 'find' see http://www.3hconsulting.com/sites/SitesResurgam.html Given the sewers were being inspected at the time of my visit one wonders at the H&SE aspects at the time of the build of this vessel.
