Les Cargo

Les Cargo docked in Portland Harbor in GTA III.

Les Cargo is a cargo ship in Grand Theft Auto III and in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Its port of registry is Liberty City itself.

Description

By 2001, GTA III's timeline, the ship is owned by Les Cargo and is seen docked in Portland Harbor. The ship is appears severely run down (with a bent transmission tower and a partially demolished superstructureas it was used by the Colombian Cartel as the hidden factory for their drug named "SPANK". In the mission Bomb Da Base under the order from Salvatore Leone, the ship is blown up by explosives expert 8-Ball (with help of protagonist), sinking the ship.

Chronologically speaking, the ship first appeared docked in Viceport in 1986 where it is owned by Chartered Libertine Lines. The ship's various traits, including a similar body design, a less crooked transmission tower, and a similar paint scheme, implies that the ship changed hands and was renamed. However, it is also common for game developers to reuse the same ship designs for following, such is the case with a cargo ship docked at Viceport in GTA Vice City to appear in Ocean Docks in GTA San Andreas.
