Interesting that the plate doesn't include the Yard No (which was 186), only the launch date.

And thanks, Dirk, for adding a more manageable size image.  May I remind all participants that the large sizes used for normal photo additions are unsuitable for the Forum.

Sorry I was not aware that larger size photographs are not suitable on the Forum.

This construction plate was recovered from the bottom of Scapa Flow and is now
attached to the Stonehaven Snorekellers diving charter vessel Karin:
