The former Admiralty harbour launch MV Saracen moored near the old Corn Office. The 52ft long craft was built in 1939 and was stationed in Plymouth and for a time was attached to HMS Maidstone, before ending up in private hands. Update - The then 61-year-old craft has since passed on to a new owner, in Bristol. In July 2010 it began the journey and travelled to Fosdyke, under its own steam, where it was lifted onto a lorry and carried the rest of the way.
