The Grand Haven was re-flagged in Honduras when it started ferrying rail cars to Cuba in 1946 for the West Indian Fruit and Steamship Company. The Bowling Green database shows that it maintained a Honduran registry when it came back to the lakes, including its short- lived service ferrying trucks across Lake Erie. https://greatlakes.bgsu.edu/item/435578

The Patrick Morris was the former New Grand Haven, a new railroad ferry built in 1951 in Montreal for WIF&SS Co's Florida to Cuba run. https://greatlakes.bgsu.edu/item/438315
