What she holds.
None.
How fast she’s gone.
- Observed top speed
- 17.4 kn · 25 Apr 2026 · off Los Angeles, CA · NOAA archive
- Fastest leg
- Houston, TX to Galveston, TX · 1 h 43 m · 24.1 kn average · 4 Feb 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.
