    Each passenger should send them the BILL for replacing their damaged clothes.

    People are 'ducking' the question raised by the OP.

    Perhaps this company should make the small print bigger, so people can see reference to 'snorkel & flippers' in the section about what to bring on a trip. Plus the stomach pump appointment at the local Hospital to flush out the Mersey.

    And Liverpudlians are involved, so don't expect them to meekly accept there's "nothing to claim"!

    What a £$£$ Head. Do you not realise that most who go on the Duck are tourists and it was the Scousers who actually helped them out the water? I'm guessing you are one of those who think cockneys spend all day going around on the London Eye. :rotfl:

    Do not even think of exaggerating the claim as fraud could see you up before the...Beak

    It seems that a tyre that was in the dock may have been the cause of the Duck sinking.

    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    I thought those things were ex WW2 landing craft.

    I bet the Germans wish they had known they could be sunk by chucking a couple of old tyres at them, would have saved them a fortune on all the concrete and steel reinforcements etc they built on the beaches of France

    I bet a few of the passengers thought thay they were "Donald Ducked"...
    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves.

    I think it was the passengers who were mistaken. This was the 'Yellow Submarine' 'Magical Mystery' tour.
