Left Portsmouth under tow today for breakers at Aliaga.
Completed in 1985 by Swan Hunter.

Great pictures of her on your website Dave.

Not seen those one's from T&W Archives before. Assume they are actually Swans pictures, held by T&W.

I'm sure that you are right about the photos being ex SHS

Yes, definitely Swan Hunter progress photos, taken by Stan & Derek the company's two long-serving photographers who were based in an office & darkroom alongside the Readhead's design office when we moved to Hebburn. Those photos form a veritable treasure trove of shipbuilding interest - I hope that T&W secured all of them - there was woeful archival vandalism on a huge scale, involvimg an industrial document shredder parked on the road into the yard, whilst in recievership.

Well at least some of them escaped into private hands!
