Project history

Bought in France under the royal decree from 6.5.1924 as fisheries protection ships. Class of these ships is not known, possibly, these are former fishing boats gained by France in Great Britain during the First World War. In all references 150t displacement is given, but more real is 150BRT capacity. All were submitted to Shipping and fishery ministry, but were crewed by Navy.
