Mailboats move mail but they move freight, produce,
construction materials and much, much more. The Mailboat is one of my
interests. For GTC, it was MV Legacy (BS) from Dean Shipping for the
longest time. We all loved Legacy. Legacy was damaged a couple of
years ago and we never got her back. Instead we were assigned MV
Champion III (PA). She has a shallower draft (I think) but she is not as
pretty and has no hold, so freight will get wet in weather.
Miss Julie S. is the Agent for Dean at Green Turtle Cay (picture on the
left). Our first year in GTC had a different Agent but she passed away
and Julie took over soon after.
One of the pictures in the Gallery is former Capt. Bob (me) warming a
seat at the Agent's table. I like it.
Other ships come here but they are not Dean ships so I don't track them (because nobody has asked).
