Notes historiques
George Schneider (July 2026) writes: When purchased by General Petroleum Co in 1992, her name was changed to MISS NATALIE and it showed on her hull right from the time of purchase. Somehow her documents got issued giving her name as LIL NATALIE, and it took most of 10 years to correct that.
