Kiloran
 
Kiloran ran for the Devon Cruising Co from Torquay in the 1950s. She was replaced by an ex-RN Fairmile B named Kiloran II in 1957. Kiloran II was sold in November 1963 to Cornish Sea Cruising Co of St Mawes. She was replaced with Devon Cruising Co at Torquay by the Bateau Morgat, which ran daily from Haldon Pier. Bateau Morgat had previously run at Brest, and was built in 1953. Her dimensions were 100ft x 24ft, gross tonnage 147, and carrying 400 passengers.
