Royal Daffodil says goodbye to Birkenhead

Thank goodness that people in high places have recognised the importance of this little ferry to Merseyside. She is simply part of our Marine and folk heritage. Thank you for capturing this moment with this remarkable video.

Brought a tear to my eye, I lost my teddy when I was 7 on that little ship, the captain bought me and my sister new ones and delivered them himself in uniform, happy days.

Brilliant video,perfect accompaniment, Melancholic, sad, nostalgic,. Something holistic about this film. Very well done.

I’ve no real connection to the Royal Daffodil (other than having taken photographs of her and living in Birkenhead), but found this very moving. Well done on preserving such an occasion 👍

My mum was evacuated on this ship. September 2nd 1939 ,day before war was declared .Collected from the Ford Motor Co jetty in Dagenham ;her and her school mates of Dagenham County High . They were taken up the East Coast to Gorleston where they stayed in the Floral Hall overnight . In the morning buses came for them and took them to their billets in norfolk and suffolk . .
