History

It is believed that there are only three models of this type of vessel left of the 8 originally commissioned, including GREY GHOST and her sister ship which is currently based at Chatham Dockyard Museum. More research is being currently undertaken to comfirm if GREY GHOST was present at Dunkirk. 

Major changes were made to her superstructure in 197, though she is currently in jneed of further work as she has been left on hard standing for three years and has some rot on the rear of the hull, as well as rot o the added superstructure. The current owner is in the process of refurbishing her.

We are lacking information on this particular vessel. If you have any information on this vessel past or present, please contact us.
