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.

None.

Observed extremes

How fast she’s gone.

Observed top speed
18.7 kn · 29 Jan 2026 · off Cape May, NJ · NOAA archive
Fastest leg
Los Angeles, CA to Oakland, CA · 43 h 5 m · 7.3 kn average · 25 Apr 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.
