 Accidents and Incidents

From the Pembrokeshire Telegraph of 3rd November 1920:

 

On Sunday afternoon the steam fishing liner 'Anchor Star' came up the Haven, having in tow a British submarine of the older type, which had broken away from her moorings near the entrance of the harbour.  It is reported that it was bound from the port of Plymouth for Pembroke Dock to be broken up.  The 'Anchor Star' was still alongside on Monday.
