tried to figure that name out, and then had to look it up..

Tshotsholoza, meaning "go forward" or "make your way for the next man"
was a song sung by miners working in South Africa, migrant workers who
made their way from Zimbabwe to labor in South African gold and diamond
mines.

Hi John,
Good info! I did a quick search about the name and came up short.

MarineTraffic has two listings, the one you found and one I found which is
https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/details/ships/shipid:4081080/mmsi:211708460/vessel:TSHOTSHOLOZA/_:4553d8a7e1240716f66d075740a6ff79.
Different MMSI numbers but from the pictures pretty clear it's the same
boat.
The last position received on your GB listing is 2016-03-18.
The listing I found has her of German registry with most recent position
received on 2017-06-20 in Boothbay Harbor, Maine. As they would say in
Maine, that's just a few looks up the road from here.
She was flying the German flag when she passed through the canal.
She can run from us but she can't hide!
Bob

PS:
I enjoy the information you add to the pictures posted here - thanks.
