Launched in 1925 and getting on for middle age, in lifeboat terms, when she went to Dunkirk, the Mary Scott was towed there by the paddle steamer Empress of India together with two other small boats. Between them they took 160 men to their mother ship and when it returned fully laden to Dover, they made a journey with fifty men to another transport vessel.
