HISTORY

As mentioned before, M/Y Family was one of sixty-four Fleet Tenders commissioned by the British Royal Navy from 1963 to 1982. Her keel was laid in 1969 by C.D. Holmes, a renowned commercial shipyard based in Alexandra Dock, upon River Hull, in the United Kingdom. Notably, M/Y Family was originally built to Lloyd's 100A1+ UK Coasting Service classification. These well-constructed vessels were designed for operations in the North Seas around the UK, the Continent, and the English Channel. While there were four different deckhouse configurations, their hulls and machinery remained identical. This design allowed for the accommodation of 100 passengers or more than 25 tons of cargo across two holds and on deck.

LEGACY

The "Clovelly Class" was a series of fishing trawlers constructed by the C.D. Holmes shipyard in Hull, England. These trawlers were specifically designed for the fishing industry, intended for fish capture, particularly through the practice of trawling. The name "Clovelly Class" was a nod to the English fishing village of Clovelly. Carefully crafted with features tailored to meet the demands of commercial fishing, these vessels were equipped with trawl nets, extensive fishing nets dragged along the seabed to capture fish, resulting from meticulous design that took into account the nuances of fishing techniques and the challenging maritime environment.

What further sets this trawler class apart is their robustness and capability to navigate through demanding waters. Their sturdy construction, emphasizing durability and resistance to the elements, made them renowned vessels capable of tackling the sometimes harsh marine conditions. Due to their ability to withstand the challenges of the sea, these trawlers captured the attention of the Royal Navy for their potential as support vessels. The Royal Navy recognized the exceptional seafaring qualities of the "Clovelly Class," along with their generous cargo capacity, making them ideal candidates for sea-based support roles.

These trawlers were adapted for specific missions within the context of the Royal Navy, showcasing their versatility and adaptability to roles beyond their original design intent. Through their robustness and cargo capacity, the vessels of the "Clovelly Class" earned their place as support vessels within the Royal Navy, a testament to their quality and reputation beyond their initial role in the fishing industry.
