Default SFC Fleet - From Vaccarro To Zemmuray To...

This is an interesting little tidbit:

The ships:

Joseph Vaccaro, ex-Lisbonense, built in 1871 and purchased in 1902 purchased from Booth Line renamed Joseph Vaccaro, UK flag, 1915 sold to Cuyamel Fruit Co renamed Quimistan. 1,508 tons.

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.
