More Segontium
As it happens, Don (see earlier blog) was in our house last night knocking back the wine and he began rambling further about the Segontium - she was built in Holyhead and went down in 'suspicious circumstances' - all her nets were out and anchors also - it was rumoured she was pulled down by a mystery sub?? and had deployed all anchors to try and slow it down

I think this maybe an old sea dog tale. Accoring to Chris Holden's book - it under tow to be scrapped...
ReplyDeleteOh! I can't see where it says that - however I am quite prepared to concede that any research of Chris's will hold up better to scrutiny than pub gossip!!
ReplyDelete(It's very exciting having someone comment on my blog!! Another new experience)
Anyway - definitely had 2 anchors out - see our very accurate drawing!!
