World War One / Re: What's the name of the Ship ?

I knew that GIBRALTAR served the Northern Patrol at Swarback Minns in the Shetlands from June,1915.
So a transfer from the Orkneys makes perfect sense for a 'Scottish' fishing-boat.
However, I understood that GIBRALTAR was later moved to Portland to serve the A/S School.
Which is where I thought this sailor must have joined her.
Or was her time at Portand after the War ?
GIBRALTAR was replaced at Shetland by the hired yacht BERYL from 3/1918 until 8/1918 while GIBRALTAR was refitting at Chatham. GIBRALTAR continued on Aux Patrol from 12/1918 but at Kirkcaldy until 2/1919. She then went to anti-submarine flottila as depot ship at Portland from 3/1919.
