Built at Toronto,
ST ELOI
was commissioned on 13 Nov 1917. Like MESSINES, she was turned
over to the Department of Marine and Fisheries in 1920 for
conversation and ultimately designated Lightship 20. The RCN
recovered her in 1940 and she became Gate Vessel 12 for the duration
of the war, spending at least part of that time at Shelburne. The
Department of Transport, successor to the Department of Marine and
Fisheries, took her back in Jun 1945 and she was not finally
disposed of until 1962.
