|The steel steam trawler Lolist was built in 1914 by the shipyard Smith's Dock Co Ltd, Middlesbrough on behalf of the shipyard William Robbens & Sons Ltd, in Lowestoft. It measured 32 m, and was equipped with a three-cylinder steam engine. It was registered at the district of Lowestoft under the Number LT 427 in November 1914. From 1917 to 1919 it was requisitioned, and used for a Fishery Reserve. In November 1924, it collided with the steam trawler Pride, with no casualties. In 1932 she was sold to the shipyard Bilton & Sons Ltd, in North Shields. In July 1937, while entering the port in thick fog, it seriously damaged its stem against the pier. It was sold in 1938 to the shipyard Den Fishing Co Ltd, in Dundee, before being resold in 1948 to the shipyard John Murray & L.G. Paterson in Buckie. It was sold to a scrapyard in 1952.
