Before The Beatles made it big, they played a few gigs on Liverpool's River Mersey ferry boat Royal Iris. Sadly, she's now rotting on London's River Thames. I managed to gain access on board and here's a pic of the stage where The Beatles performed in 1962.

I started a petition to bring the Royal Iris back to Liverpool and would appreciate it if you would sign it. Thanks :)

It should help your campaign that Paul mentioned it in his song on MAF.
