Ship Identification

Hello. Hopefully there is a ship expert who can identify the paddle steamer next to the Spud Pierhead.
The 387 number had me leaning to Garesfield per a D-Day ship Excel file I found, but am doubtful. Queen of Kent or Medway Queen perhaps. Answer appreciated. Thanks

 

The attached is from ABS 39.
Don't know if it is of use to your research?

Best regards,

Steve

 

Thanks for the reply. Can you clarify ABS 39. It s not one I recognize.

The light went on. I have the full set of Summaries for the RAN website, Just wasn't aware of that reference.
Thanks.

 

Close. This must be QUEEN OF THANET, pendant number 4-387, with the "4" omitted.

QUEEN OF KENT was 4-383.
