Historical Notes

The vessel, a general fishing boat built in 1976, remained active for years afterward and was eventually abandoned much later in its lifespan. In January 2013, it was involved in a notable incident when it listed alongside the Helena Star—a vessel that sank at its berth—and both were later slated to be dismantled.
