Rhonde Joyce II was apparently Gatco New Jersey at one point. I can find no builder's records for either name. Gatco New Jersey was involved in a collision in 1951 resulting in a court case in 1958. Gatco is Gulf Atlantic Transportation Company. Ronde Joyce II was owned by Decker Oil Transportation. Looks like it had a second-story wheelhouse.
