context_page_description: The Canadian Fairmile B was a type of motor launch originally designed for the Royal Navy by W.J. Holt of the British Admiralty and built by British boatbuilder Fairmile Marine. Affectionately known by their crews as The Little Ships, Little Fighting Ships, Q-Boats, MLs or Holy Rollers, during the Second World War eighty-eight Fairmile B boats, with slight modifications for Canadian climatic and operational conditions, were built in Canada for service with the coastal forces of the Royal Canadian Navy in home waters.
