Description
Venture is thought to be the only Vertue with a counter stern, added in 1953, about two years after her original build. However, another, apparent Vertue, has emerged from Norway called Lotus, complete with a counter stern. See V 55. Also, it is possible that the modified drawings may also have been used for V 84, if she was ever built.
