Notas históricas
George Schneider (May 2026) writes: This vessel remained incomplete in the hands of the builder until 1981. In the mid-1980's she is said to have had the name Jodi R, but I've found no proof of that. The photo shows her when owned by Tweed and operated by Brix.
She also spent significant time working for Foss under their colors.
