One Of Four Boats Built To Maurice Griffiths' Olive Mary Design
Silver Seal is a sister ship to the well known Olive Mary and Wendy May. Like the other sister, Singapore, her current status is unknown (December 2017). However, the above photograph and the following text have been found in the archives, along with the fact that the Lloyd's Registered change of name took place in 1937. We'd love to know more.
