June 2011 Leo Whisstock commented: This was a steam yacht owned by Lord Inverclyde and was purchased by the Admiralty in September 1939 as an Armed Boarding Vessel and served most of its time in Gibraltar on Contaband Control duties. My father served as Boarding Officer on her for a time. She was sold in 1946.
