Does anyone have info on the 83-foot Norwegian wooden coaster BUSANT - builder, owners, service area etc.
At some point she was owned by Ingvar Drågen: https://www.pidragen.com/Sider%20linket ... usant.html
She was in Lerwick in July 1989 https://www.shipspotting.com/photos/248770 on the way to Falmouth.
She was bought by local company Fair Isle Trading to run between Penzance/Falmouth and the Scilly Islands, but was later replaced. In July 1994 she broke her moorings and went ashore, and was seemingly abandoned: http://pembrokeshire-pictures.co.uk/ima ... 6_14-34-35. In June 1997 she was broken up by the British Army's Royal Logistics Corps as an exercise.
