Her end wasn't quite straight forward - she had been berthed at the breakers yard at New Holland but parted her lines and made her own way down river before finally colliding with the Immingham Oil Terminal jetty. She was recovered to Immingham dock and a few weeks later (IIRC) redelivered to New Holland and secured a little better before being broken up.

Hi Patrick, thank you very much for your information, guess the old Lady thought that her time wasn`t up, being "only" 30 years old
