Hi Ron,
Sorry I can't show you any examples of a trawler conversion.
I've never looked for any or had any reason to.
Try looking at some typical trawlers of the '50s and '60s for inspiration.
Good luck🤞 a blog would interest me.

History of Corvettes of Canada,and their fate.
Available on Amazon amongst other outlets.
Also attached a pic from the other book I sent you of Southern Pride the alleged forerunner of the flowers.

SS Sudbury photos sent to me from the former owner.
Copy of email I got from them:
“ Hi Mr. Bauer
Thank you for your email. I am told by Seaspan’s “resident historian” that the Sudbury was a fairly famous tug on the coast for salvages and long tows, Vessel started life as HMCS Sudbury a world war II Flower class corvette and was converted after the war to a tug by Island Tug and Barge.
We only have the attached black and white photos – I hope these are helpful.”

Some were turned into trawlers or whalers, which is what the hull was originally designed for. How about that Ron?
There's hundreds of tugs out there as well. Not quite so many trawlers?
Some Flowers were converted to freighters, some to whale catchers.
Attached is a list of 'Flowers' and their fates.
Yer pays yer money ....😉
Cheers, Doug 😎

It would be a great idea to turn a Flower Class Corvett into a tug.
Never thought of that.
It would be an excellent project, but like you say, before we enter into that endeavor, we want to see pictures of the real one. 😎

Has anyone built a Flower Class as a post-war version? Many were bought by foreign countries and some became research vessels, and sea going tugboat such as the S.S.Sudbury out of Vancouver.
I just don’t want to build another WWII Corvette that everyone else has done.
