Her name appears to be deliberate with the missing E from what I can make out of her name on her bow.
Otherwise, I can find no details about her!

BUT SEE LATER POSTS!!!!

As long as the S and last 4 remain, we are OK.

It's the missing C that makes it valid for web checking isn't it!

Googling tells me that the three EON wind farm boats were named after villages that have disappeared under the sea due to coastal erosion along the Holderness Coast. So that is probably why none of us has heard of Sunthorp, Hoton or Turmarr.

This article shows that Sunthorp was inside Spurn, south west of Easington.
