The UK dumped nuclear waste in the North Atlantic from 1948 until 1982. The practice was banned worldwide by the UN as from 1994

Nice picture of a good looking ship, also had an Atlantic Fisher (ex Sandgate) converted to dump nuclear waste via a moon-pool but I don't think she was ever used and later sold to become Arklow Beach.

Cheers Bob, although I lived in Whitehaven for 4 years, I rarely got down to Barrow in daylight, it was usually evenings for a squash match !! So I was pleased to see her on a rare sunny day when I did visit.
