Subsequent history: Eunice of Ecowas (1990-1996): May 1990 sold to Atlantic Ferries, Lagos, Nigeria. Renamed Eunice of Ecowas. 8 June 1990 sailed from Terschelling for Lagos. The delivery voyage under St. Vincent and the Grenadines flag was crewed by Wijsmuller Bros. of Baarn, The Netherlands. --- 1996 sold to Redffern Ferries, Lagos, Nigeria (at a later date the name Redffern Automotive was adopted). Renamed El Shaddai.

In 2001 it appears that the name on the hull reads By El-Shaddai, which probably is not officially recorded.

The 3rd January 2004 due to a mechanical break-down the By El-Shaddai is drifting off the West African coast while en route from Ghana to Monrovia (Liberia) with 213 refugees. These people return home to Liberia after a peace deal ended the bloody civil war. The captain contacts the United Nations refugees organization four days after the incident, when supplies of food and water are exhausted. Among the passengers are pregnant women and about eighty children. In the early morning of 8 January the Dutch naval support vessel Hr. Ms. Rotterdam arrives on the scene to render medical assistance. The Rotterdam forms part of UNMIL, the UN peacekeeping forces in Liberia. After having been given food and water the passengers are ferried to the Rotterdam with this vessel’s landing-craft. The Dutch ship takes them to Monrovia, where they arrive on 10 January. A few days later the company resume the journey to their villages. Though El Shaddai’s engines could be fixed by the Dutch engineers, problems with the steering gear remained, and the crew were given food and water to await the arrival of a tug.

No later information available. (as per dutch sources). Regards Peter

This one makes me feel very nostalgic. Took her several times when I was a kid on our annual Summer trip to Terschelling. Also got stuck on a sandbar with her several times.
