So sad to see this great ship ending her days in the breaker’s yard.
i don’t know how to cross-post this from FB but this is absolutely heartbreaking. The age of scientific ocean discovery we were brought up in is gone & will never come back. I can’t.

The site of #MaryAnning’s house and shop 1826-47, Broad Street, Lyme Regis. It was a small, 2 storey thatched house, demolished in the 1930s. Now, appropriately, a cancer charity shop. The buildings either side would have been familiar to Mary.
