Hmmmmm . . . patrol or "gun" boat designation . . .

 . . looks to be a western allied design, just does not look German or Japanese . . .

Not English, possibly US between wars . . .

Maybe a Norse Boat?  Is it Finnish?

(Casts around for images . . .)

Is it Uusimaa?

I've checked a lot of websites with this one Brady. I thought Neatherlands, but nothing turned up.  Tried my references on Finnish but they too turned up empty.

I'm guessing it's a former whaler or fishing trawler converted to a coastal patrol, covertte style ships. Judging by the snow, it's northern, possibly Russian but it's not any known types.

There's Steve McQueen on the bow or prow or scow ... it's the gunboat from Sand Pebbles or Sand Dollars or Sandy Hook.

Negative.  He can't be three places at once, especially since he's dead.
