Location: New Island - Falkland Islands.

The vessel was built in 1942 as a minesweeper for the British Admiralty at the Wagstaff & Hatfield shipyard in Port Greville Nova Scotia Canada. Protector III was used in the Falklands as a sealer and later as a fishing and general workboat. The vessel was apparently beached where it lies today in the late 1960's.

Sidebar: In trying to find the history of subject vessel and how it ended up in the Falklands under what name, etc., I began my search by checking the shipbuilding history of Wagstaff & Hatfield. The record shows this yard built 12 minesweepers for the Royal Navy.
Two were delivered in 1942...
O.N. # CN162 / Original Name: MMS99 / Delivered 24-Nov-42 / Loaned to Italy in 1946 as DR207 / Sold 1955
O.N. # CN163 / Original Name: MMS100 / Delivered 16-Dec-42 / Loaned to Italy in 1946 as DR208 / Sold 1955

The MMS class (Motor Minesweepers) were a class of 402 coastal minesweepers built for the Royal Navy. They were made of wooden construction to counteract magnetic influence mines. The minesweepers had pennant numbers MMS1 to 312 and MMS1001 to 1090
