Built c.1956 by Ateliers et Chantiers de la Seine Maritime (Normandy - France) for Pêcheries de Fécamp to operate in Newfoundland waters. At the time, one of the largest diesel-electric trawlers in the world. The diesel-electric arrangement successfully met the need for a high passage speed (12½ knots when loaded) combined with a low trawling speed (3 to 4 knots). The average trip was of 100 to 120 days duration, only 16 of which were on passage to or from the fishing grounds.
LOA: 74.6 m
B: 11.5 m
D: 5.9 m
Engines: Three 8YLCM, ordered from Paxman in 1955 and despatched in June the following year. For some unknown reason the contract specifies that the engine nameplate be inscribed 750 bhp at 750 rpm but that the actual contract rating was to be 800 bhp (543kW electrical) at 800 rpm.
Electrical Machinery: Each engine coupled direct to Sautter-Harle tandem DC generators, 510kW for propulsion and 150kW for other requirements. Two propulsion motors, each rated 960 bhp at 850 rpm, driving through reduction gears to a single propeller.
