HERE is a photo of the UFO-shaped habitat on the dockside of the old Morpeth Dock in Birkenhead that reader Steve Johnson was appealing for information about.
I do not know what happened to it.
I was scuba diving with others to scrape the keel of a boat in Morpeth Dock circa 1975-78 when, just for the fun of it, I decided to dive to the bottom of the dock.
We knew there were at least two small boats on the bottom and I wanted to find them.
I never did, but I touched and felt a rounded shape with the kind of window shapes you see in the photo.
Visibility down there was zero, just black and filthy.
Maybe the shape I felt was the habitat and maybe it is still there, although the dock was filled in years ago.
I just do not know.
