What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 20.5 kn · 23 Jan 2026 · off Charleston, SC · NOAA archive

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.
