Notes:
"On April 25th, 1960 [...] The MAUREEN CROAN left the builders' slipway completely finished and ready to proceed to sea-trials"..."A strong family interest was shown in the proceedings on the day since Miss Josephine Croan names the MAUREEN CROAN and Miss Madeleine Croan names the MALCOLM CROAN."..."extensive sub-assembly methods of construction were used on the two vessels. Large hull units were pre-assembled prior to erection on the building berth and a large proportion of the work was carried out under cover with consequent accuracy and welding quality, together with the substantial reductions in building time."
