Rito was one of the first coasters I visited as a student helper for The Mission's To Seamen, Rotterdam. George Hooley the mate on board still corresponds with me today.

When I lived in Scotland in the mid-80's, I used to speak to crewmembers of this ship on the CB radio. The ship used to come into port nearby several times a year. I even met one of the crew on one port stop, a gentleman from Norway, and we went to have a pint or two and chat about all sorts of things. Great memory.
