If this vessel is allowed to be destroyed a part of history and yet more British/Australian Heritage will be destroyed with it.

There comes a time when ships and people are out of living space. Instead of desperately clinging on it is best to 'cross the bar' with dignity and honour. So lets wish her a good final voyage and give the "City of Adelaide" a viking funeral. Good Watch. It seems the “City of Adelaide” and Mr. Peter Maddison have both run out of water.
