At Mersey Maritime, they are proud to share The Danny’s Maritime Heritage, Maritime Futures Campaign – a transformative initiative that celebrates the region’s rich maritime history whilst creating exciting opportunities for education and community engagement.
This innovative campaign is about more than preserving the past; it’s about inspiring the future.
Maritime innovation
The Danny, or the Daniel Adamson, is a beautifully restored 1903 steamship that serves as a living link to the golden age of British engineering and maritime innovation.
Once a vessel for industrialists and dignitaries, she now provides an extraordinary platform for storytelling, education, and community connection, offering a unique way to engage with the region’s maritime identity.
