Name MTB 219

MTB 219 made many attacks on enemy shipping, sustaining damage on 11 September 1941. On 12 February 1942, she was involved with the attack on SCHARNHORST, GNEISENAU and PRINZ EUGEN. She sank the German destroyer SEEADLER on 13 May 1942 and continued to attack enemy shipping until she was paid off on 19 December 1943. MTB 219 is the only surviving vessel of her class and bears the signs of war damage. She is currently stored in a steel Thames Barge, but her hull is reasonably sound and she could be re-floated after considerable restoration. Unfortunately, little of the original interior or superstructure remains, but much painstaking work has been done on her deck planking. She has been a houseboat in Chelsea for the last fifty years and has also been used for filming during this time.  As of 2021, MTB 219 is under the ownership of Kraken Heritage CIC, a subsidiary of Kraken Technology. Their plan is to restore the vessel to its former glory.
