Owner Nolty J. Theriot (USA), later named MISS ISABELLA.

CVB

An old friend, one of the fleet of Nolty J.Theriot, Houma, Louisiana, brought over from the Mexican Gulf to work as anchor handlers and general tug boats for Brown & Root construction and pipe-laying barges operating in the North Sea in The 1960/70's Whitie LeBlanc was skipper of this one. They all had to have European Navigators on board to satisfy the BOT. But boy , could those ******* skippers handle those tugboats, spin inside their lenght and go full astern in a second.The Spanish deck crews worked up to their necks in bad weather on the deck, the seas came over the bow and down te side decks like a tidal wave.. She was built by the American Marine Corp; New Orleans in 1964 for Nolty J. Theriot, Houma. La. Sold to Tidewater Marine Services Corp; Morgan City, La. and renamed Ven Tide. Sold to Compania Naviera Asetec S.A de C.V; Tampico, Mexco and renamed Jaumave Asetec . I think she is now named Miss Isabella. 440 gt. 195 nt. 41.48 x 10.67 x 3.43 m. builders yard no. 861.
