Something a bit different; a small collection of photos my dad took of King George V being broken up near Cardiff Docks in june 1982. Unfortunately I can't find any info on this particular ship, all I can get is stuff about the Warship :confused: . Anyway, enjoy!

It appears she was a former Clyde Steamer, found some postcards of her in her prime too.
