Worcester III after I left 1965 - The Last Years

Worcester III

The College closed at the end of the Summer term 1968 and the ship continued in use by the Merchant Navy College, at some time as T.S. Worcester under the Red Ensign, until they finally moved ashore in 1974? and the ship was sold for scrapping in 1978, finally departing her mooring on Saturday, 08 July 1978 bound for Belgium.
