3 It is interesting to record in this connection that a motor fishing vessel, also named Calanus, was acquired by the Scottish Marine Biological Association in October 1947, for work at the Marine Station at Millport on the Isle of Cumbrae. Strongly constructed of wood, she is larger than the Canadian Calanus and is of a type built according to Admiralty specifications during the war: length 75 ft. 7 in.; beam 19 ft. 4 in.; draught 10 ft. 11 in.; gross tonnage, 77; engine, Blackstone Diesel 160 h.p.; auxiliary, Lister Diesel 12 h.p.; accommodation for eleven.
