Description

The schooner MARY B MITCHELL was orginally a slate ship owned by Lord Penrhyn. She became one of the first Q-ships that lured enemy submarines to the surface and then opened fire from their concealed weapons. As Q-ship, she was painted black with a yellow streak and bore a fake name to look neutral.
