I hate to say what I'm about to say, but, what a mistake HLs has made. I wonder how long it would have taken to find thid mistake if it hadn't been found by one of our members.

The Narcissus never made it any further north then the Portsmouth, VA area where she worked in the Virginia/North Carolina area until she was decomissioned in the early 70's. The Zinnia was one of the Narcissus's sister ships along with the Maple. The Zinnia basically worked the Delaware Bay area and was never reported to work any further north then New York City. She stayed in the Delaware Bay and New York City area until she was transferred to New Orleans where she was decommisioned in the early 70's. The Maple was built in the Great Lakes and never left the Lakes.

While the Narcissus and Stratford Shoal may have been made to match together, it would be better to display them separately then taunt history with a tender that never made it that far north. What a catch and what a mistake!
