The mast from the ship the Salvor, notable for being featured in The Beatles' first photograph after Ringo Starr joined the band, is set to be sold for scrap. This decision comes after a lack of interest in re-homing the historical artifact.
Originally reported by NME, the mast represents a significant piece of music history. Its impending disposal highlights a potential loss for enthusiasts and historians.
