Fintry westbound in Cape Cod Canal.

Curently she is an "expedition yacht" based in Boston.

Originally she was a fleet tender for the British Royal Navy.

from her web site which is currently off-line:
"The motor vessel Fintry is one of sixty-four Fleet Tenders built for
the British Royal Navy from 1963 through 1982 on the same 79' hull.
Although they had four different deckhouse configurations, their hulls
and machinery were identical. In their original configuration, they
could carry 110 passengers or 25 tons of cargo in two holds and on
deck. They had a Lloyds 100A1 classification (the highest possible)
for operations from the Elbe to Brest, which includes the North Sea
and the English Channel, some of the nastiest waters in the world."
