Oh what a pity and will be a sad end to this once fine lady as I had many a good pint aboard sitting infront of the coal fire i the top bar

Agree, but I cannot say that I am surprised, she has looked very down at heel for some time. The current situation cannot have helped either, however we should congratulate her current owners for keeping her going as long as they have done. It cannot have been easy.

Looking very sad now funnel and masts out today and not long before she is gone altogether

Be interesting to see how they complete the job, as there will be a point where it is impossible to keep the remaining part of the hull afloat.
