Our Lizzie

James and John Penberthy of St Ives had "Our Lizzie" built in 1919 by W.J. Oliver and Sons at Porthleven in Cornwall. They named her after Elisabeth Penberthy, their baby sister who died before the boat was launched.

Just after the outbreak of WWII, "Our Lizzie" pretended to be a fishing boat off the Dutch coast and reported the movements of German submarines. "Our Lizzie" was also part of a fleet of about 1.200 vessels to help with the Dunkirk rescue operation.
