The Bahia de Siguanea was built by McCluskey and Company, at Tampa, Florida, in 1945 and appears to be one of that very large class of American-built N3 type steamers known affectionately as "Jeeps". She was launched as the Northern Stalker for the United States War Shipping Administration, later becoming the B. A. Follansbee. Purchased in 1947 by the Companhia de Navegacao, of Lisbon, she was renamed Quionga. Her present name was given her in 1956 when the Flota Mambisa bought her from the Portuguese company, She has a gross tonnage of 1,906 and a net of 1,063, while her deadweight is 2,740 tons. SG1125
