Calne, Wiltshire &#8211; VICTORY (SB808)) <\/p>\n<p><em>Note<\/em> The log books of the WILLIAM HANNAM have been checked in TNA. The most interesting bit being that for two months prior to requisitioning, she was employed as a collier bringing bunker coal from the Forth ports to Aberdeen. After WW2 David Marr bought her and she arrived in Fleetwood from Portsmouth on March 31 1947 with Sk. W. McCaplin (20565) in command. We can find no trace of her landing at Fleetwood in the landing lists. She does not appear in the list of trawlers owned by Dinas. We are not sure that the retention of her Aberdeen registry (A54) is correct either, although she is recorded as Aberdeen registered in LR, not necessarily with a PRN.  <\/p>\n<p><em>Changelog<\/em><br \/>\n08\/01\/2009: Page published. 4 updates since then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical Admiralty Number: 4206 Official Number: 143940 Yard Number: 448 Completed: 1919 Gross Tonnage: 276 Net Tonnage: 119 Length: 125.6 ft Breadth: 23.6 ft Depth: 12.7 ft Built: J.
