Remarks:

• The GUIDE ME II was built in 1907 by Hall, Russell and Co. The boat was owned originally by J Mitchell and J cow and powered by a 38HP compound steam engine. As part of the war effort it was hired to the Admiralty to function as an antisubmarine gunboat during World War One and as such had a 6 pounder gun added to its armament. She was sink in a collision whilst on patrol either with an unnamed vessel or the Muglins. In 1990 Ivan Tunsted discoved the wreck and raised the deck gun which is now on show in the Dunlaoighire Maritime Museum.
