White Ensign, she was not commissioned into the RCN but instead was
listed as a tender to HMCS Sambro, the depot ship for escorts
(tenders were not commissioned vessels).
In Apr 1944 and Feb 1945, Q111 was listed a part of the 78th
ML Flotilla. Sold in 1945 to Gibson Mills Ltd, Vancouver, she was re-acquired by the RCN and
