The 'Riverton', pictured 28 April 1905 [image 1 of 2]

Description

The Riverton was a commercial vessel, torpedoed by the Germans off Land's End in 1945. It was towed to Swansea Docks for repair, but broke in two in Swansea Bay. Its stern was left in the sea off Mumbles Head, and remained there for many years, whilst its bow was made sea-worthy at Swansea, and towed to the Tyne for repair.
