History
This modified Black Swan class sloop was launched on 7th May 1943 at the yard of Alex Stephens & Co at Linthouse. After a very active wartime career Amethyst was sent to the Far East as a guard ship for the British community in Shanghai. The action that made her a household name was an incident in the Yangse river in late 1949, where she was trapped almost 200 miles inland. In a heroic action she broke out and escaped to the sea. Amethyst was sold for scrapping at the Plymouth yard of Demmelweek and Reading. Members of the Amethyst association still meet at regular intervals.
