The steamer, OCEAN MIST was built for the Admiralty during the First World War as part of a large programme to replace the many fishing trawlers that had been requisitioned, converted to minesweepers, then lost in action.
Out of these 500 vessels built under this programme, OCEAN MIST is the only known steam-driven trawler to have survived into the 21st century.
The ship was originally named SAMUEL GREEN. Each of the new vessels built under this programme was originally named after a member of the crew on the ships HMS VICTORY, and HMS ROYAL SOVEREIGN, at the time of the Battle of Trafalgar.
SAMUEL GREEN was built by George Brown & Co, Greenock. It was not completed until 30 April 1919, by which time the War was over, so it was initially fitted out as a fishing trawler.
