Notes:  « The Milford Register stated that in 1984 she transferred to Swansea, but the Olsen's 1986 has no entry for her at all, which suggests that she ceased to be a fishing vessel in Swansea.  [ Thanks to Douglas Patterson, via the "Ships' Nostalgia" website. ] 23 Jan 1994: Ceased to be a fishing vessel. (According to FAO.)
