An engineer and history enthusiast from Pembroke Dock held a commemorative day over the weekend to mark the occasion when a Royal Navy warship was 'mothballed' in the town. HMS Burnham was an ex-US Destroyer (the Aulik) lent to the Royal Navy duringWorld War Two. The ship was mothballed at Pembroke Dock, but in 1948, broke loose in a storm and waned up on Fort Road Beach next to the guntower, and later broken up. Guy Anderson, who owns the Victorian Martello Tower, built to defend the former naval dockyard from attack, held a day to mark the event last weekend, pegging out the shape of the ship and placing information boards around the beach for visitors. The three-storey octagonal tower overlooks the Milford Haven waterway, and is cut off from the mainland twice a day by the tide.
