Title: unico being scrapped?
Post by: Ben on April 08, 2013, 08:46:41 PM

Thames tug unico has been spotted inside Denton Wharf with a missing wheelhouse.

Can anyone local pop down and get a photo of her?

Ken

Thats correct, here is a photo of Lady Kitty without a wheelhouse.  But with Unico missing a wheelhouse, it is said she will be scrapped.   Trying to get a photo so we can see better what the situation is or how bad she looks, beyond repair etc

Tragic and very sad photo Ken.  Thanks for that though much appreciated.  It looks like she is being broken up. I was shocked as to the state of her hull with rust patches and also note the wheel is missing and the fact its not covered over at all suggests no attempt to preserve or stop rusting.  Not a good sign :(
