Notes:  Presumed to be an Admiralty MFV, by date of build, tonnage and dimensions, and apparently not engaged in fishing, despite her PRN. *ONs from 301000 - 301999 are allocated for the years 1959-62, but a) 301707 is not allocated to vessels in Olsen's in 1961, 1963 and 1965; b) the Milford Register states she was 2nd in 1961, but no such Milford fishing vessel was registered in 1961; c) the register gives her port as Lowestoft, not Milford, despite her PRN as M17; d) she was not registered until M17 in 1970; e) Olsen's 1971 does not record any vessel by that name.

Cert. Cancelled & Milford Registry Closed: 18 Oct 1972.  Vessel no longer fishing.
