In remembrance of the crew members of the tug Flying Phantom

Flying Phantom was a tug built in 1981 for the Clyde Shipping Company and based in Greenock in Scotland. As a consequence of business takeovers and mergers, by 2001 she was owned by Svitzer Marine Ltd of Middlesbrough, though still based on the Clyde.

She sank in the River Clyde at Clydebank on 19 December 2007, with the loss of Stephen Humphreys (captain), Robert Cameron (engineer) and Eric Blackley (deckhand) with only Brian Aitchison (mate) surviving.[3] She was one of three tugs assisting the bulk carrier Red Jasmine. On the night of the accident, there was extremely poor visibility, due to heavy fog.

The model pictured here is painted in the old Svitzer colours

Newsham Park is situated in the Tuebrook area of Liverpool. The park was opened in 1868. In 1877, it was the site for that year's Royal Agricultural Show.

Newsham Park was the first individual work of the landscape architect Edward Kemp, an understudy of Joseph Paxton who was responsible for the grounds at Chatsworth House and the design of Birkenhead Park, a city park that became a working model for the creation of Manhattan's Central Park.

Entrance to the Park can be accessed from West Derby Rd .The Model Boating Lake can be found adjacent to the cafe and toilets, New members are welcome. We sail on Wednesday and Sunday Mornings.
