"The Magnet" in August 1920  at Penarth Dock
"The Magnet" in August 1920 with her diving chamber elevated. She seems to be moored to away from the eastern quay wall. The lines are taught. How this is maintained? I'm not too sure; the engines do not appear to be running since there is no wake and she is not making any smoke, however, the surface of the water does indicate a slight breeze. Strange behavior indeed! The lower image has been colourised. [060]
