Mills Media was commissioned by Merseytravel to produce an in-depth documentary about U-534’s epic journey – from its sinking in 1945 to its newly found status in 2009 as the latest Mersey Ferries attraction. With record visitors in its opening months, the U-Boat Story at Woodside has truly captured the imagination of the public.
Unprecedented access allowed the Mills Media crew to capture the refurbishment, cutting, transport and delivery of U-534 over an eighteen month period. The programme also includes archive war images, salvage footage from the depths of the ocean and candid interviews with key players in the project’s success. This is the sixth programme we have produced for Merseytravel in the past five years and the production team is now putting the final touches to a new programme featuring the impressive Pier Head Ferry Terminal.
