Observed top speed
14.5 kn · 4 Jan 2026 · off Charleston, SC · national archive 2021-25

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.
