To the bitter end

Despite being submerged for over 60 years, the still solid oak timbers of the Trewar's keel proved more than a challenge for the breakers!Terry, from Mount's Bay Engineering had to cut away bolts through the keel iron.
Out of desperation, the swing shovel was used as a final resort to remove the keel timber from inside the iron channel.And the heart of the oak keel - still green!
Penlee lifeboat heads out for an evening exercise.
The Bryan D, next vessel for breaking, has now been shifted prior to her going under the gas torch.The Roseland has escaped the breakers and has been sold away from the port.
