This 128-page hardback book contains 142 photos, featuring several rare and previously unpublished, with a number having been colourised. The book has been compiled from detailed research into the last days of the Royal Navy battleship HMS WARSPITE in Cornwall, using material from various archives and accounts relayed by those who were there. Wrecked at Prussia Cove on her way to the breakers, the ship’s crew were heroically saved by the Penlee lifeboat. Acquired by two Bristol scrap merchants, the wreck was refloated, the operation seen by some as the most impressive operation of its time in the UK. Moved to a position near St Michael’s Mount, scrapping of vessel would take another seven years, in extremely challenging conditions. The book also touches on other vessels involved, including tugs used in the initial tow and the later salvage operation, as well as other craft which supported the removal of the wreck.
