"Monks In Boats":  On Sunday, 17th June, Mersey RC were proud to take part in a recreation of the original crossing of the River Mersey, which was first undertaking by Benedictine Monks.  The event was part of the 800th Birthday Celebration for the City of Liverpool, marking the signing of Liverpool's Charter by King John in 1207. The row was completed in record time, using 15ft four oared boats.  City council leader Warren Bradley said: “The Mersey ferry is central to the fascinating tale of how Liverpool developed down the centuries. It’s fantastic that our maritime community is playing such a key part in celebrating our 800th year.”
