TS Mount Edgcumbe's last berth



Many people will have read my article on the Training Ship Mount Edgcumbe which has been featured in the Herald, The Shopper and on this blog.
Searching through the archives, I have come across this very rare photo of the TS Mount Edgcumbe in a sad state, waiting to be broken up. The photo comes from The Western Morning News of Monday 25th July 1921.
The caption reads : 'One of the last wooden walls, the Mount Edgcumbe, training-ship, has been towed from her old berth, near Saltash Bridge, and is now at the dock of Queen Anne Battery, Plymouth, where she is to be broken up.'
