But he has retired since then. I checked that data for this requested code was never entered in the Database. I don't know which particular data Gatfri was going to enter. Meanwhile, some information about this ship is available on the net. In 1883-84 this ship participated in the Indian Antarctic Expedition. On the web page of Indian antarctic expeditions it is listed as Finnish ship: http://dspace.ncaor.org:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/681/1/V3+T+ALBUM.pdf I found this ship in the Lloyd's book (84-5): IMO 7415723; Flag: Finland. It is also seen on page 28 (see ship image) of report available at http://dspace.ncaor.org:8080/dspace/bitstream/123456789/681/1/V3+T+ALBUM.pdf Home port displayed on the back of FINNPOLARIS is Helsinki. Somewhen between 1984 and 1989 the flag of FINNPOLARIS was changed. It is listed as Bahamas ship in the Lloyd's Register 1989-90. Flag Bahamas.<br />(Marilynn Sorensen 15/07/2011 00:00:00)<br /><br /><br />Do we have the correct Finnpolaris?
