History
Malcolm Miller was built in 1967, half of the construction cost being donated by Sir James Miller, a former Lord Mayor of London and Lord Provost of Edinburgh. She was named for Sir James' son Malcolm, who had been killed in a car accident.[1] The ship was designed by Camper & Nicholson and used by the Sail Training Association as a Sail Training Ship.[2] Malcolm Miller was a sister ship to Sir Winston Churchill.
In 2000, Malcolm Miller was replaced in service by Stavros S Niarchos.[3] In 2001, Malcolm Miller was sold and her new owners renamed her Helena C.[1]
