Is she still there, I lost track of any later developments, understand attempts to preserve her failed.

I'm sure she was broken up in the covered dock some years back.

I believe Patrick is correct. She is certainly not inside or outside of the Pallion dock.

I assume the following Wikipedia information is correct!
It was announced in March 2010 that Manxman was to be dismantled in Pallion shipyard. By January 2011, the ship was being decommissioned and dismantled by G O'Brien & Sons, a specialist heavy industrial and marine demolition company. The dismantling took place in a large dry dock in the Pallion shipyard, Sunderland. The ship was finally broken up for scrap in 2012.
