U-534 has been prepared and cut into sections on site whilst at Mortar Mill
Quay, Birkenhead. Each of the sections was moved during the week of 10 March
2008 by floating crane to Woodside Ferry Terminal, Birkenhead. The photographs
here show the vessel immediately after the move. The next stage of the work
will see high quality glazed panels and cowlings installed to enable visitors
to look inside the submarine. Various interactive exhibits, audio visual shows
and interpretative materials will fully explain the story of the U-534 in a
purpose built visitor centre extension to the existing ferry terminal.
"U-Boat Story" is expected to open as an attraction
towards the end of September 2008. Please re-visit this page for future updates
or add your name here to our email news update list for U-Boat information.
