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.

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.

None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
20.4 kn · 14 May 2026 · off Norfolk, VA · NOAA archive
Fastest leg
New York, NY to Saint John, NB · 144 h 37 m · 3.1 kn average · 4 Mar 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.
