She used to be a museum ship on the mersey. Her and the sub that was also part of the display are homeless now.

She is indeed mentioned as being sold for scrapping in the article.

There was a Spanish-American war era ship that came close to being converted into razor blades; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Olympia_(C-6) still not out of the woods yet. Old ships are bottomless pits for swallowing money
