History:

1932-1973 East Goodwin, Mid-Barrow and Cromer station

January 1973 decommissioned and sold to become the club ship of the the Haven Ports Yacht Club in Levington Marina near Ipswich. Her latern was taken for the Inner Dowsing light platform before her disposal and her new owners were fortunate to obtain that from lightvessel no. 88 at Norwich, although that was rather different from her original one
