Keewaydin passing St Clement's Isle, off Mousehole

Popped into Long Rock as I thought I had seen this vessel approaching when I left home. Unfortunately it was rather misty & gloomy but there she was, the lovely old Lowestoft sailing trawler the Keewaydin - below is her history from their website
The sailing trawler ‘Keewaydin’ has a long and colourful history. She was built in 1913 at Rye by G & T Smith for Lowestoft owners, where she went to trawl the North Sea banks. In 1937 she went to the Baltic, where she was used to carry cargo.She served faithfully in both World Wars, carrying refugees from Denmark to neutral Sweden, and in one trip carried a total of 420 commandos.
Now fully restored she does short sailing holidays around the coast of Britain & Ireland.
