on 18 Nov 1941. 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 Jan & Apr 1944, Q0050 was
listed as part
of the 71st ML Flotilla. Her CO, Lt Beardmore was listed as the SO 71st
ML Flotilla on 10
Jan 1944. After the war, Q050 was
turned over to Marine Industries Limited, Montreal and became STANBA
1. She was later sold to Standard Oil of New Jersey.
