Steam On The Dock is a celebration of the industrial heritage of the Albert Dock and marks the return of &#8216;The Daniel Adamson&#8217;, a historically important Liverpool icon, a steam-powered tug of 1903.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">The tug has been extensively restored by The Daniel Adamson Preservation Society, backed by a Heritage Lottery Fund and supported by the Mayor of Liverpool. For the first time in 30 years, the public will once again explore the grand decks of \u201cThe Danny\u201d. A fleet of coal-powered steamboats will toot, whistle and puff their way around the famous waterways of Liverpool to join her.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">On dry land, visitors can step into the grand steam train of Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland, that will arrive on 28<sup>th<\/sup> April, Thursday, a week earlier, which will be running up and down the Hartley Quay. They will be joined by a fleet of vintage steam-powered miniatures, lorries and traction engines, on a parade running, throughout the day, around the quaysides of Albert dock.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">Don&#8217;t miss the Liverpool Symphony of Steam, Sparks and Space, an event in neighbouring Salthouse Dock, on 7<sup>th<\/sup> May, Saturday, at 3:00pm. Get thrilled by the live performance here of the Katumba, a 80-piece Samba band. The symphony will be joined in by the hooters, whistles and steam of the traction engines, the train and steamboats assembled, sounding at the same time into a thunderous climax, echoing throughout the waterfront, into the city and beyond.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-GB\">In situ from 6<sup>th<\/sup> May, will be the various steam traction engines and The Danny.
