Fairmile Motor Launch
Built by Taylor and Sons, J.J., Toronto, Ont., she was delivered to the RCN on 20 Nov 1943. While she flew the 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 Mar 1944 and 1945, Q113 was listed as part of the 82 ML Flotilla. Sold after the war to La Co-operative Transport, Isle de la Madeleine, Quebec and was renamed Laverniere. She sank in 1947
