Cocaine siezed off the ship 'Winner' in West Africa
« on: August 31, 2005, 04:09:17 AM »
Heres the story, I dont know who owned the boat, but according to the article the ship's crew was all aware of the illegal smuggling happening. Hans Rosenkranz has two pictures of the vessel under its former name 'Ocean Brilliancy'. Maritime data has the owners now listed as unknown. The worth on the street is around 243 million Euros, Heres the article:

I would guess she's the former LIJNBAANSGRACHT 3464/77 which has been trading to West Africa as WINNER, there is a photo of her in the albums by G.Drebes.
Best wishes from Hull
