And for the heck of it the name "Coos" comes from New Hampshire in the extreme northeast of the U.S. and is pronounced completely different. The poet Robert Frost mention Coos County, NH in one of his poems. I am guessing that the name either came from England or is a Native American name. Nothing to do with ships but I like to learn about place names. Marvelous series on the ship by the way.

I thought that was the case. From the photos that I have seen posted, you seem to get a number of Pacific Basin Shipping Line handy size bulkers calling in the Pacific North West ports just as we do here in New Zealand ports.

Named after the city/port of Coos Bay, Oregon, the state's largest port for shipping lumber products.
