Waiting to be refloated !
MV MARGA (ex-Margit) registered at Cortes in Honduras was swept on to the rocks at Rhos on Sea after breaking her anchorage in October 1991. Five days later it was refloated after several attempts by tugs from Holyhead Towing Co. It was towed to dry dock in Birkenhead for minor repairs. Soon after the vessel was laid up and sold to new owners where she was later scrapped.
