Notas históricas
George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 03/06/2025) stated "an elderly survey ship, GEO EXPLORER (6700391) was built in 1967 in the UK as the stern trawler SWANELLA for J. Marr & Sons, and has had 6 other names in between. Her homeport shows as Basseterre, which I don't remember seeing before. It's the port for St. Kitts-and-Nevis, which survived the hurricanes better than many of the island countries out that way."
