I had no idea as to the type of vessel that Garcia Del Cid was when I captured this image of her in the Port of Arricife Lanzarote in November 2007. An Internet search carried out in January 2022 reveals that she was built in Spain in 1979, is Registered in Spain and has a Gross Tonnage of 309 Tons. Her functions as described across a number of different Web sites is Research/survey vessel, Fishing Support vessel and Fish Farm support vessel. She is still in service at the age of 43 years.
