Venturer-class minesweeper explained

The Venturer-class minesweepers were naval trawlers converted from fishing trawlers to minesweeper service for the Royal Navy in 1978.

There were 2 members of the class:

• - originally Suffolk Harvester
• - originally Suffolk Monarch

They reverted to their former names and owner in November 1983 and were converted into oil rig safety/standby vessels.
