Brazil
Before it was called Tunamar, the ship was the Solana Star, which was seized and auctioned. The Solana Star's cans gave rise to the “Verão da Lata” (Summer of the Can) in Rio, and the expression “da lata” became a synonym for something good in Rio slang. The plan to turn it into a luxury yacht with a floating casino fell through, and it became a tuna fishing boat named Tunamar. Dives on the wreck led, in November 1996, to the launch of a Trimix diving operation in Brazil.
