The sad sight of scrapping commencing on the former Windsor Castle as the starboard side of her once graceful bow is unceremoniously cut off for scrap. Ironically scrapping commenced on the 18th August 2005 which is the 45th Anniversary of her maiden voyage from Southampton to South Africa back in 1960. Soon this last survivor of Union-Castle Line sadly will be no more.

Late August 2005 and scrapping is now well advanced with the former RMS Windsor Castle at Alang and now all her once graceful bow is gone. A truly sad sight of this once fine British ocean liner at her end.
