Lost during a storm in November 1921 as it was being taken away for scrap, the wreck of G3 came to rest under cliffs at Buckton, between Speeton and Bempton, in East Yorkshire. According to Scarborough Maritime Heritage Centre (SMHC), valuable parts of the wreckage were salvaged by an insurance company, with the remainder blown up in 1940 as it was found it could have been used as a landmark for invaders in World War Two.
