History
Cloud IX is a 28 ft Thornycroft built Motor Cruiser dating from 1926. Her original name is not known but her original engine , a Thornycroft RA4 No 410 is still installed together with a large number of original brass and bronze fittings, May not have been afloat since the late 1990's. Current lack of information prior to 1994 precludes confirmation that she was a Dunkirk Little Ship. Further research in hand GH Mar 16
