WENDY ANN II was built in 1939 by W. J. Yarwood at Northwich. She was owned by the Harry Rose Towage Company of Poole and was used to assist coal ships onto the gasworks berths. It is believed that the Ministry of Defence employed her at Devonport between 1941 and 1955. She was saved from the scrap yard in 1996 and is now waiting for funding to carry out some necessary hull repairs.
