Notes historiques
George Schneider (June 2026) writes: Navy sources render the original name of this vessel as Armina, but both concurrent yacht registers and her government documents agree on the spelling used here. At some point (probably as Vallarta Allegre) She was a dinner cruise vessel at Puerto Vallarta Mexico.
