Rosina, built in 1871, ex-Paraense, 1904 purchased from Booth Line renamed Rosina, 1916 sold to Cuyamel Fruit Co renamed Omoa. 1,697 tons.

Venus, built in 1877, 1906 purchased from United Fruit Co, 1907 sold to W. A. Powell, Belize. 2,273 tons.

Quite a few ships were purchased from the Atlantic Fruit Company too.

You should recall, too, that 1000 hectares of established Gran Nains yeilds about 2000 hectares worth of pups, as well as what is needed to maintain the original 1000 ha, if they're divided correctly.
