| The Rega, built in Poland in 1995 as the Fossnes by a Norwegian company, was sold in 2002 to the Polish Steamship Company where she received her current name. She made many trips here as the Fossnes but was here only once before 2009, in August, 2002 as the Rega. As the Fossnes, she loaded many cargos of barley at the Cargill Terminal in Duluth. Those cargos were shipped by Anheuser-Busch to England to make Budweiser beer. In their ads, the company said no matter where in the world you were, your Budweiser was brewed with barley from the Midwest. I can vouch for the claim. On her August, 2002 trip here, the Rega loaded wheat for Barcelona. |
