A French trawler serving with the Royal Navy as an armed escort, lent to the US coast with the Bedfordshire and others in 1942. She sank on 6 May 1942 after a collision in the dark with the destroyer USS Semmes off Beaufort Inlet. She lies in about 60 ft (18 m) and is one of the easier wartime wrecks to dive.
