Good Catch Joel.� That was the way it was listed on the ships list.�
I guess what that means is that many times one has to look for
spellings which are the result of mistakes.� Where the� correct
become the incorrect.� Then the incorrect becomes the name of
record.� Example Joel becomes because someone heard Joe and wrote it
that way on a record.

The Gefina you list below is actually Gesina, the
's' is often confused with the 'f' as it is written.
