Particulars come from her AIS broadcast and the sourced facts ledger. A type decided from her name or her operator is a guess and is labelled as one.
Two measurements, kept apart.

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
- 17.8 kn · 26 Jun 2026 · off Cape May, NJ · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Charleston, SC to Jacksonville, FL · 14 h 38 m · 11.8 kn average · 30 Jun 2026 · to the hour
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.
