She reminds me of the Dunkirk 'little ships' and the Ullswater steamers.

@Robert: Just up the coast from Bridlington is Scarborough, they also have a pleasure boat the REGAL LADY.
The MV Regal Lady (1930) is a steel passenger boat operating out of the port of Scarborough, North Yorkshire. She is a National Historic Ship, owned and preserved by Scarborough Pleasure Steamers Ltd. The ship participated in Operation Dynamo at Dunkirk
