TALACRE, full hull ship model
Full hull ship model of the TALACRE.
The Point of Ayr Colliery, Clwyd was unique amongst Welsh pits as it had direct access to the sea on the estuary of the Dee. From 1916 the colliery proprietors decided to acquire ships and between then and 1959, four vessels - the CLWYD, the TALACRE, the POINT OF AYR and the TANLAN - were operated. The TALACRE was built at Great Yarmouth in 1917, a steamer of 301 gross tons; she traded regularly from the colliery quay with coal for Ireland, the Isle of Man and around the Welsh coast. The ships were taken over by the N.C.B. in 1947, but by the late 1950s it was decided to sell them; the TALACRE was the last to go, scrapped at Dublin in 1959.
