Vessel History

Rebuilds British tonnage, 1945 (176 gross - 19 net).
History Apparently Army records are in error in showing ST-767 being lost in 1945. France-Fenwick purchased two tugs, the other being ST-773 (ex DPC 75), and lost one in tow for England. Scratchings under the paint of CORNHILL indicate a \"9\" which would be DPC 99.
