And in her later life as survey/buoy tender near the Humber Bridge 24/07/1986 - note her starboard side window boarded up, she had had a bump at the Bull Sand fort a day or so before this photo.

Those forts are quite naughty, mind one doesn't rush out in front of ALAURMA!
She was very spoiled by the new topsides but served her purpose and got an extended life out of it.
