Re: IROQUOIS - patrouilleur or cargo??

Again a lot of question marks:
French sources say "Iroquois" was a patrouilleur purchased in the USA with former name "Colorado".
Miramarships and Great Lakes Ships have a ship with these two names, too, but it was a cargo ship of 2359 GRT, built in 1902 as "Tadenac". According to these sources "Tadenac" was renamed "The Iroquois" in 1903 and was sold to French owners only in 1920, serving under the French flag as "Colorado"!
Two different ships or the same ship??
