Sister Anne

[PaulF]

I am trying to find the existance/whereabouts of the above vessel, she is/was an old Camper & Nicholson, Twin Screw Steel Motor Yacht built in 1929 Length 130ft. I have a 1967 Lloyds Register but nothing later. Does anybody have a Classified Yachts catalogue from after 1981. The vessel had Panama registration in 1967 and the UK register of Ships cant follow it up unless it was re-registered as a British Vessel, which does not appear to be the case.
Any help very much appreciated.

Hi Paul, Sorry I can't help you with any more info but as a matter of interest my Dad was master of the sister anne in the 30,s. We left Marseilles in 1939 and arrived in Milford Haven the next year. I expect you already know that she was used by the Polish navy as a 'house' boat in Falmouth during the war.
kind regards
John

Hello, I was checking the Sister Anne on the internet and came across this post. I have here a photograph of the Sister Anne taken by Becken & Son Cowes.
My grandfather Harold Ward was master of her when he was given the post of taking her from Falmouth to somewhere in Scotland at the end (or near the end of the war) I gather that she was donated by The Hon. Mrs Fellows to the war effort - but I think that was before she went down to Falmouth.
Unfortunately, my father knew alot more about this but has passed on and although we are trying to remember details my mother and T dont know alot more.
I do remember my father went down to Falmouth to visit his father on the Sister Anne. I also have one of her bathmats!
Look forward to hearing any other news about her.
David

Thanks Norman

I believe the "Sister Anne" your looking for during WWII was a Combined Operations Ship, in coastal waters near to Roseneath Combined Operations Camp. She is also pictured carrying Lord Louis Mountbatten.
Here she is on Wikimedia Commons. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_Royal_Navy_during_the_Second_World_War_A17311.jpg
Am I right?
