"Nahlin" , Lady Yules' motor yacht was also "notorious" for hosting the then Prince of Wales(later King Edward Vlll and his mistress at the time) Mrs. Wallis Simpson on a cruise. It was during this cruise that there affair became world-wide piblijc knowledge and scandal.

WOW..!! 151 crew for just 5 guests..! And I thought the modern "Dilbar" was excessive with just 90 crew..!!

I am trying to track down a vessel, 121' Fantail Yacht that was built on the east coast at City Island NY in 1930 for The Wrigley Family (of the gum fame ). She was brought to Long Beach CA via Panama to serve the family as a coastal cruiser, and transport to Catalina Island. I had the honor of being a crew member during the 1980s. She had several names but I knew her as The Lovely Lady. A few years ago I saw a Tow Boat US notification stating that she was docked at the Miami River and was purposefully scuttled and abandoned. I contacted the original shipyard and shared my concerns, however, they told me the current owner was devastated and not interested in communication. I cant imagine that she would have been scrapped. She had so much history, and soul. That boat really spoke to me, and all who boarded her. I wonder if someone who loved her as much as I might have saved, and restored her. Any ideas on her fate? Anyone?

Thanks. Very interesting. No idea there were so many large personal yachts built back in the day.

Thank you for this. I didn't know so many ships were built. I never resented people having mega yachts because building, decorating, maintaining, sailing, and providing hospitality created many jobs. I feel that boats are entities, and in the spring when returning to my boat, I hug the mast and ask "did you miss me?" Yea, a little nuts, but a boat takes care of you in a hostile and dangerous environment.

Looking forward to the opportunity of Destroyer/ Battle Cruiser converted into a megayacht with fast displacement & massive ranger capability.....

Looking forward to pt 3, hopefully 4,5,6… It’s extremely interesting to cover this history for context on todays Expedition yachts. I learned a lot from pt. 1 & 2.

When I saw the title I was skeptical about this topic being interesting. I had no idea they were building yachts like that at the time. This is fascinating.
