Historische Notizen
George Schneider (May 2026) writes: This boat started life an an excessively streamlined vessel, particularly for a sportfishing boat. Later in life she got into commercial fishing, and was lengthened to improve her competitive position. A fire in 1995 destroyed her superstructure, but it was rebuilt.
She is reported to have had a discharge of oil in October 2004 and then was scrapped in November 2004, probably indicating she grounded or sank, was unrepairable, and was therefore was broken up.
