Not much improvement in the intervening 6 years, this photo taken 18/3/1989.
Did she ever move between 1983 and 1989?
She was not to move much further, being broken up in Hull later in 1989. (Was this at Draper's?)

Would 1989 be rather late to be scrapped by Drapers.
As you all know the Company Albert Draper & Sons was established in 1922 and is still very much active, according to their website, in Raven St, Hull.
Their own site states between 1972 - 1981 they broke 'about' 30 trawlers. This occured at the Patent Slipway or Victoria Dock Slipway Hull, which is now a Heritage area.
I am also interested in their disposal of the A class sub Alcide, S65, which arrived June 1974 from Portsmouth having paid off some years before. She was a late A class scrapping, built by Vickers Barrow yno 907 launched 12 April 1945.

Congratulations to Kingston-upon-Hull for becoming the UK City of Culture for 2017.
Thats all folks. Sean.

In better condition in this Henry Scarr view of her, completed at Hessle in 1954 as KENFIG for work at Cardiff.

Her sister was GRASSENDALE, based at Garston.
