    Hi Dave

    Still a floating restaurant/wine bar/floating gin palace but renamed as 'Cruz' - see their web site @
    http://www.thecruz.co.uk/index.html

    Built as: SAMUEL GREEN
    Yard No: 115
    Shipbuilder: George Brown & Company Greenock
    Launched: Wednesday, April 30, 1919
    Built: 1919
    Ship Type: Royal Naval Trawler/Mine Sweeper

    Evidently built for the Royal Navy but World War 1 ended before it was launched, consequently not delivered to the RN but converted into a luxury steam yacht. Owned at one time by the Guinness Family of 'Nigerian Lager' fame.
