The window receiver times a gate to about a second; the national archive carries one fix a minute, interpolated to about two. Her two bests are two different measurements and are never ranked against each other.
What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 19.6 kn · 19 May 2026 · off Cape May, NJ · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- New York, NY to Baltimore, MD · 30 h 31 m · 4.7 kn average · 22 May 2026
From our own position archives, with reasonableness checks: a plausible top speed over a corroborated window, a direct leg between two named places. A bound carries no second fix to confirm it and is labelled as one.
