She underwent a major refit in the early 1960’s during which her steam engine was replaced by a diesel. She remained in service until the 1980’s when she was purchased by an elderly gentleman for conversion to live onboard.
During his extensive refit work in which the new superstructure and funnel were added and the entire hull re- plated the large diesel was again replaced with a more economical Scania. His work was of such a high standard that the insurers classed her as new build in 1992.
