Notas históricas
George Schneider (August 2026) Writes: She appears to be a 120-foot prototype for the 132-foot "Covered Lighter" produced during WWII and later popular as surplus vessels in the fishing trade. It's interesting she appears to still have fishing rights in U. S. waters after being under foreign flag.
