ONE of the world’s oldest warships dramatically dropped to the harbour floor when water leaked out of its berth in a dock at Dundee’s waterfront, it has been revealed.
Twenty people on board HMS Unicorn were evacuated when the historic vessel began drop to the bottom of the Victoria Dock on Wednesday night following problems with the dock’s sea gate.
The 80 year-old North Carr lightship, which was berthed alongside, also dropped to the bottom of dock when the Camperdown Dock sea gate could not be fully closed and water escaped into the River Tay. Both historic vessels dropped an estimated eight feet onto the muddy floor of the dock and were undamaged.
