So many well-known British ships have ceased to exist at Van Heyghen's yard in Gent (Ghent).
(It always puzzled me that the shipbreakers was usually referred to Van Heygen Freres (French for Van Heygen Brothers)but if one was silly enough to try to speak French in Gent/Gand/Ghent, one would normally be ignored and/or answered in English!
