Have to agree with your findings Atlantik-Pirat! U-534 is looking a lot better even with that primer undercoat on. As regretful as her cutting has to be money is now being spent on her preservation and the deterioration and rot has been slowed down. Lets hope one day that she will be put back together again.

Here is some recent info I have on the new Exhibition Centre.

U-534 is being cut up and moved to a new exhibition site on Merseyside by Cheshire-based main contractor Whitfield and Brown.

The company is building the new exhibition area at Mersey Ferries' Woodside Ferry Terminal.

U-534 will be floated to its new home using the Mersey Mammoth floating crane later in the year.

The work on the new exhibition invovles excavating a 60m x 20m reception dock into which the four segments of U-534 will be placed.

Bases for the units are being created using a rock and geotextile solution designed by consulting engineer Mott Macdonald. A decked viewing area with glazed panels will be built at each end of the sub.
Rgds
Terry.
