No it's not sunk! it's an adapted excavator we used for underpinning a bridge.

My Early Years!
I can't believe I used to have that hairstyle!
 
The vessel "Celtic Diver" towing the 300t lock gate at Alexandra Dock.
I later cut the gate up, along with 5 others.

As can be seen from the few Photo's I've posted, I have led a varied and very interesting career.

I would like to express my gratitude to Molem PLC (Now part of Carillion) and its staff, whose assistance with the loan and operation of the crane barge pictured above, made my task of removing the final cut stern section of the sunken vessel (Mancunium) a much faster and less complicated task. Well Done!
