Yes thank you for those Photos, hardley a GRP or Gin Palace amoungst them ? Note the Upright Wheelhouses etc, all very yesterday, but nice for surePictures from her glory days - and the 40 years she spent mainly sitting idle in Conwy. She must have appeared in the background of a lot of people’s holiday photos between 1922 and 1962.

And when you examine and consider the additional weight of the 'modern' additions of the tophamper it is a wonder that she didn't tip over afloat.
Her stability curve might make interesting reading!
Where is "carter and ward Rockford"? The article said she was going to be taken to a dry dock on the Thames.I'm guessing she might come out at carter and ward Rockford as they've got the ability to take out a boat that size and store it
Google suggests it's at Wickford....?Where is "carter and ward Rockford"? The article said she was going to be taken to a dry dock on the Thames.
