Norman Star

Lots of smoke in this view of NORMAN STAR coming in for breaking. Miramar has 7/3/1950 as the breaking up date, which is probably the date she arrived.

Photographer unknown

What a cracking old photo, for fun I was trying to ID the Tugs, nearest is Seasider, starboard aft is I think Earl of Beaconsfield and the aft port tug is Greatham.On the bow looks like one of United Towings tugs, possibly Englishman :D

Probably the PORT CAROLINE on the Berth in the process of being Broken-up and the remains of HMS LEANDER in the Gut.

More to come later
I have a decent supply of black and white prints from the 1920/30s
Santa was also very good and left me a slide convertor so I shall be experimenting with that - eventually
Also got a bottle of whisky so that's a canny night in. Or day if we go to lockdown 3
