This vessel is first in Lloyd's 1949-50 edition as a steam trawler until 1947 when the steam engine was replaced with an oil engine 45csa 6 cylinder 10-13 fitted by National Gas & Oil Engine Co. Ltd Ashton-under-Lyne. In Lloyd's the engine is noted as having been replaced again during 1952-55 with an oil engine 25a 6 cylinder 290x500mm NE47 Cie De Const Mae St. Denis.
