One of many chants that braved the Western and ended up trading around the St. Lawrence. Bruce.

One of over 40 small prefabricated tankers built in 1944 to supply the allied invasion forces which were designed to carry fuel either in bulk or cans. Another 20 were completed as dry cargo carriers.A single Crossley engine of 220 bhp gave a speed of 7.5 kts.
