GEORGE SMEED was built by Smeed Dean & Co. Ltd in 1881 and was registered in Rochester in 1882. She traded both in the Thames/Medway estuaries, the Channel and also Southampton and Devonport.
She was lined up for use to evacuate troops from Dunkirk during the Second World War but in fact was never used in the end.
She was also used to transfer one of the SS Mauritania's propellers to Woolwich for re-trimming.
