History

Built by F C Morgan Giles during periods of leave from RNVR service at sea in 1916 and used for nearly 50 years. It is of very light contruction because of wartime lack of materials: the stern was made out of an old mahogany table. Presented to NMM by Rear-Admiral Morgan C Giles, son of the builder. October 2007
