Loyal Chancellor

At first I thought this boat was a trawler, after seeing the platform on the stern I'm not sure, Bangor Port 10th January 07.

I agree Andrew, she does look like some sort of modified trawler. Maybe used for diving now?

Guys I think you will find she is an ex Royal Navy Fleet Tender or similar they were all Loyal class...... or I could be wrong.

No Steve You have it perfectly correct she is an ex Naval Loyal Class Fleet Tender, some of her sisters were often in the Cromarty Firth and Loyal Proctor was stationed at Inverness.

Thanks Ronald I took a picture of the model of this boat last weekend and the name stuck, but I couldn't remember why, and where I'd seen her.

Added by Andrew Wright on 31 March 2007.
She certainly is a Loyal Class fleet tender. The platform on the back was used when the ship was a dive vessel in Africa approximately 5 years ago. The platform has now gone and she is undergoing a major refit in private ownership, but all is not lost.....watch this space MVS!

Loyal Chancellor was a Fleet Tender of the RNXS,she was the traing vessel for the Devon and Cornwall units of the RNXS.She served for many years out of Devonport,many of us trained from Ordinary Seaman to maMate and Skipper on that ship.

I cannot give you information about Loyal Chancellor but Loyal Proctor was a training ship for the RNXS (now disbanded) and she was moored in Muirtown Basin in Inverness when not in use in Orkney, and Stornoway and maybe even Shetland. I was a member of the RNXS and we took delivery of her after her trials and sailed her to Orkney where she was based most of the summer months each year. (about 1972 onwards) One mechanician from Rosyth stayed on board to look after her. I am trying to get a photo of her but cannot find it anywhere. Can you help, please? I would be most grateful._
