Broker's Comments

She was the first Liverpool class boat put into service and served the RNLI between 1933 and 1950. She was then retired from service and became a fishing boat and ferry before becoming a live aboard on the Deben.
During service she saw 54 launches and saved 72 lives as well as taking part in several military rescues during the war, records of which remain unreleased.
Now well equipped as a cruising boat she is registered as a National Historic ship and is a special little piece of history. These boat details are subject to contract.
