fv miracle

ironically the building at her bow is the sea school

Looks like one of the big Rio Class freezer trawlers built by the Barreras shipyard in Vigo Spain for the Cuban Governmen during 70Thies.

Yes she is one of the Cuban Rio Class super trawlers, her name is "Silver"

Wonder how she ended up there?

Anyone followed the Cuban fleet through the 90 etc? I understand they are intending to reform it.

rio canimar is the old name i can see welded on the bow couldnt get any more detail i was busy steering

Hi, yes I checked LR with the name "rio canimar" came up with Silver as her current name. wonder what she is doing there, how long she has been there?
Is she flooded out? or just grounded?

she is grounded and likely flooded she was just around the corner from where she is now but they pumped out fuel etc. then shed floated around there on a extra high tide, she had a list before too. been there the 3 years i have worked in lagos so unsure how long
