Scotty road anchor? |
Travel Info you was all right i meant scotty road, lol, i have since found out it was from the malakland, The S.S. Malakand, a steamer loaded with over 1000 tons of shells and bombs, blows up at Huskisson No-2 dock. It is thought that a deflated barrage balloon (used to defend against enemy aircraft) fell onto the deck and burst into flames. While the crew are fighting the fire, German bombs set fire to neighbouring sheds. The Malakand is soon on fire. The ship is abandoned and attempts are made to sink her. However it soon explodes in one of the biggest explosions of the Blitz. The whole dock is destroyed and some of the ship is thrown two and a half miles away. Only four people are killed Travel Tips I didn't know it was the Malakand anchor. It wasn't one of the biggest explosions of the Blitz, it was the biggest explosion. Wasn't the Anchor found in Birkenhead after the explosion? Thats what my dad told me anyhow so it must be true. |
