Small Harbor boat at Port Vendres November 1942
Here is a photo of German forces entering Port Vendres in November 1942. The passenger ship in the background is the "Maréchal Lyautey."
Can anyone identify the small craft in front of it ( at the far left of the photo)?

Excellent! :D Are there any clearer pictures of this little boat?
According to Groener's she was take over by the Kriegsmarine and lost in Brest.
Is there a published source that lists and ( even better) has illustrations of Non- Navy French Government craft like this?

Port vendres 11/1942
Hello Ptdockyard,
During the period 1939 - june 1940, the Cerbère and two others fishering protection vessels, the Gardien Cosmao and the Socoa were used by French Navy in Marseille harbour as pilot vessel under the pennant number Ad 161, AD 199 and AD 200. All were returned to civilian service during the summer 1940.
In this bad photo, taken in back lighting, the Cerbère is seen in Marseille.
Happy New Year
Alain

A postcard showing the old harbour at Marseille:
in the foreground very probably the "Gardien Cosmao", followed by three small pilotboats, then in my opinion the "Pilote Nivière" and (the second vessel with an anchor as funnelmarking) the "Pilote Escoffier".
