From Roger Finch’s ‘The Ship Painters’: 'The Laverock was a wooden steam drifter built at Lowestoft by Chambers in 1901 and owned at Yarmouth by [W. F.] Miller. She was one of the earliest powered herring boats but at least has a wheel-house aft of the tall funnel. The very first steam-drifters did not even have this provision for the helmsman. Astern is the sailing drifter Faith [YH594], built in 1894, also owned by Miller.'

Olsen’s ‘Fisherman’s Nautical Almanack’ of 1918 lists 'Laverock' as bearing the Lowestoft port registration number LT1182 and as being owned by one J. Keable of Kessingland, to whom she was apparently sold in 1912. From 1918–1919 she was hired by the Admiralty for naval purposes.
