History
CRUSADER is believed to have been built as a passenger carrying vessel possibly before 1910 and originally named NANCY. It is not known when the vessel's name was changed to CRUSADER.
She was licensed by the Board of Trade to carry 39 passengers and two crew, and was in service right up to the 1960s, run by Sutton Coldfield Council.
