I didn't see the TV item myself, but I do know that earlier today the chief minister of the Isle of Man and the current chairman of the Isle of Man Steam Packet Co. layed wreaths at the approximate spot on the Mersey that the Ellan Vannin sank.
They, together with a party of descendants of the victims, the minister of the Mariner's Church (St. Lukes?) on the Liverpool Dock Road and Hughie Jones, sailed out to the spot on the Mersey ferry MV Snowdrop. Hughie sang his song.
