She was leaving Cardiff for Sunderland where she was modified for use by the Electrolytic Zinc Co. of Australasia Ltd, to dump effluent from their Tasmanian zinc works to a point 55 miles out at sea. ANSON was sold surplus to requirements by British Transport Docks Board following replacement of bucket dredgers by modern grab and suction dredgers.
