Dole Honduras steams up the Delaware Bay at a swift 17 knots on the last leg of her final journey in revenue service. Across the river from my vantage point in Port Penn, Delaware, is the massive cooling tower at the Hope Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Lower Alloways Creek, NJ. If you live in the Mid-Atlantic United States and have enjoyed Dole bananas in the last 30 years, you have the Dole Honduras partly to thank for it. She departed Wilmington two days later on March 18, 2021 for scrap.
