Shipping News and information / US Coast Guard tender Cherry to Suriname
« on: June 20, 2012, 07:57:15 PM »
On 20 May 1965 the United States Coast Guard sold the lighthouse tender Cherry (built 1931) to the Suriname government, along with the Dahlia. Some years ago a person posted here a photo of the Dahlia in Surinam colors (under a different name) and discussed what became of the Cherry (I believed abandoned around Paramaribo, as I recall), but I cannot find that posting. I would like to know what these vessels' names were under Suriname control, and their fates. Many thanks.
