Tall ship Astrid due to be scrapped after dramatic rescue drama
Specialist contractors, who have been appointed to scrap the 95-year-old sail training vessel, are due to begin the work in Kinsale, Co Cork next Monday.
The work, which is expected to take at least three weeks, will be done on Lobster Quay where the wreck has been stored on a large recovery barge lashed to the quayside since it was salvaged from rocks below Ballymacus Point near Oysterhaven in September.
