    For those who haven't seen them, some very sad pictures here.

    The website says that dismantling is now complete and some articles have been put on eBay.

    Sorry, Mark - don't think I can repost them here without breaching the owner's copyright of the pics.

    Ah, that's OK. I understand, & I'm sure that someone will post some pics for general viewing at some point. I've seen a few ships broken up; others won't have, of course...

    Cheers

    It is indeed. No doubt some of the metal will make another voyage before being recycled into something else though - in the holds of a ship carrying scrap to the Far East...

    Bloody sad and tragic.......

    Manxman deserved better and should have been saved.

    A very sad day for marine heritage.
