This photograph was sent to us by David Henshaw of HMS Conway before it ran aground on the Menai Strait in 1953.

The wreck remained until 1956 when Caernarfon Harbour Board began work on removing it. However, during this work, the ship caught fire and was burnt down to water level. In September 1987, volunteers from the Seiont II Maritime Trust recovered the anchor of HMS Conway from the Anglesey shores
