Oh dear, Oh dear, the memory must be fading.
Here are a couple of photos from my first posting to this newsgroup showing
Artemis in Carlingford Lough in 2005. Plus her history.

History of Artemis

Original name: Pol II (one of a flotilla of ten whale catchers named Pol I
to Pol 10 inclusive)

Built as a whale catcher (steam engine - no sails) by Nylands Verksted, Oslo
in 1926 and worked with Norwegian Whaling Fleet in the Northern and Southern
Oceans (Norwegian Flag).

World War II

1941: Hired by Royal Navy and used as a Minesweeper.

1942: Renamed HNoMS Jeloy with a Norwegian Navy crew (Norwegian Flag).

1944: Renamed HMS Levanter with a British Royal Navy crew (White Ensign).

After World War II

1946: Returned to Norway under original name of Pol II and resumed work as a
whale catcher.

vessel(Swedish Flag?)

barque in 2001, and retained the name Artemis (Netherlands Flag)

Attached is a web photo of her whale catcher sister Pol III, which will give
you an idea as to how she looked in her whale catching days.
