Falmouth boat Rosemarie during the Second World War.

Can blog readers help provide more information for Shauna Osborne-Dowle from Falmouth who is undertaking a research project to record the history of the Rosemarie through old photographs and interviews with people who knew of, worked or lived aboard the boat. Here is her request: 

I saw your fascinating blog on the Free French and thought I'd contact you because I've currently researching the history of a 42' Falmouth built boat called Rosemarie. She was stationed at Penzance (Newly) during the war and was requisitioned in 1940, served until 1948, she was skippered by a man called Frankie Peters.

I'm making a no-budget film about the whole life-story of this boat, and have been looking for wartime photos of Penzance Harbour or any information about what the Rosemaries duties would have been. Ideally I'd like to find some-one who remembers her in service. Have you any useful suggestions for me?

Shauna's website is www.houseboat-tv.com where you can see some interviews from the boats later history as a houseboat.
