Actor and travel documentarian Michael Palin is pictured at Mainstay Marine in Pembroke Dock to see the new ‘Erebus’ - built as a support ship for the British Antarctic Survey ship ‘The Sir David Attenborough’.

The Monty Python star was in Pembrokeshire for his one-man stage show at Milford Haven’s Torch Theatre, on Wednesday, July 17, which celebrated his publication ‘Erebus: The Story of A Ship’ where Palin brings to life the story of the tough little ship that took on the Antarctic and the Arctic in the 1840s - from its construction and launch from Wales’ only Royal Dockyard in Pembroke Dock, 1826.

The performance was a fundraising event presented by The Pembroke Dock Sunderland Trust with the Torch Theatre.
