For Jonathan Turner, owner of the authentic 1920s yacht Fair Lady , the marriage of classic design with modern technology is a match made in heaven. The 121-footer, built and launched by Camper & Nicholsons in 1928, bears all the hallmarks of the fabulous flapper era, but remains a yacht designed for adventure, owned by a man intent on finding one.

The exterior is by Charles E. Nicholson, one of the most famous names in yacht design in the early years of the last century, while the interior comes from the drawing boards of modern yacht designer John Munford. This unlikely dream-team of two designers separated by a century has resulted in a unique yacht. Fair Lady ’s mahogany-paneled walls and Art Nouveau furniture ooze original character, while the contemporary adaptations provide every modern comfort on board. The 1920s ship’s wheel and brass binnacle, for example, sit alongside the very latest electronics and navigational equipment in the wheelhouse.

The card room on the main deck retains the original pearwood detailing and the “chairs are the same as when it was built,” says Turner. “We know that because we’ve got the original photos.”

The 121-foot yacht has been refitted to retain its 1920s Art Nouveau charm without compromising modern comforts.  Burgess

What began as a whimsical purchase of a Triumph TR3 over 20 years ago for Turner has grown into a passion for “old things.” Fair Lady is his first yacht, and she is part of Turner’s sweeping collection of vintage cars and motor memorabilia, including an XK140 Jaguar and eight vintage Bentleys, one of which he drove in the Monte Carlo Rally. He’s also raced the Orient Express across Europe (and won), completed the Peking to Paris Rally twice, and says his first experience of the Peking endurance race dramatically changed his life.

“We were the first people to drive through Iran since the fall of the Shah in 1977, and the first non-Chinese citizens ever to have Chinese driving licenses–all of this in a 1928 Bentley,” says Turner. “That car has been part of my life for 20-plus years. I realized then at the age of 30 that you can go anywhere in the world with old machinery that everybody else thinks is going to break down and have a phenomenal adventure.”

Since undergoing a significant refit at Pendennis in 2006, Fair Lady has had several return trips to the U.K. shipyard for maintenance. “It costs a fortune every year to get the timber varnished,” Turner says. “It’d be so easy to cut costs and paint it, but that’s not what you do with antique furniture. I love old furniture, it’s got character and was built properly. Fair Lady is basically an Edwardian house on the water.”

Some of the equipment like this brass telegraph is original, but just about everything else has been modernized, with a period-correct overlay to hide the latest technologies.  Burgess

A sheltered alcove on the sundeck makes a popular spot for breakfast. The expansive sunpad and wooden sun loungers aft catch the sun, and on the main deck a chic Parisian bench bends around the stern. Each of the guest cabins have vintage 1920s telephones that have been converted to plug into a modern socket. An old-fashioned radio has been reconditioned to hold an MP3 player. “Everything on board–the doors, the handrails, the master cabin–is the same as when it was built,” says Turner. “I don’t want anybody to go on that boat, with all its charm and beauty, and see anything modern.”

Along with Turner’s appreciation for authenticity is his palpable sense of fun. “I bought a yacht with a funnel and a horn that properly honks because it’s really cool,” he says.

For those looking to share in the adventure, a seven-day charter itinerary along the Scottish coastline could be just the ticket. Fair Lady will sail via the Inner Hebrides, the Treshnish Isles, all the way up to the Talisker whisky distillery in Stein, before returning by Loch Drumbuie, one of the best yachting anchorages in Scotland. Turner’s private Cessna 208 seaplane and private estate on the shores of Loch Sunart can be included in the trip.

Now located in Scotland, Fair Lady offers a retro lifestyle in some of Britain’s most charming cruising grounds.  Burgess

“I don’t spend as much time on board as I’d like, but hopefully this year with Fair Lady being in Scotland, that will change. What I really want to do is get 12 friends together and have some fun on board. When I’m racing my cars I’m by myself, and that’s a bit selfish, whereas when you’ve got a sociable boat like Fair Lady, then you can really enjoy yourself.”

Fair Lady is available to charter through Burgess from $73,000 a week. Here are some other shots of this very classic lady.

The 121-footer had an extensive refit in 2006 to bring it back to her former glory. She returns each year to Pendennis to have all mahogany revarnished.  Burgess

1928 Article: The Grand Yachts of the 1920's

The Grand Yachts of the 1920's

Adapted from 'The Major Yachts' by Bennett Fisher.

Published in ‘Sailing Craft’ in 1928

The New York Yacht Club , founded in 1844, is the oldest American yachting organization and it has always maintained it’s present position as the most important single club in the country.

It is natural therefore that the finest yachts on the coast had almost invariably been in its fleet and had taken part in its Cruise. So great is the reputation of this Club that the winners in its races have been looked upon as the outstanding boats in their respective classes. Other clubs however, notably the Eastern, hold important regattas for the big boats each season, but the entrants are practically the same.

During World War I there was no Annual Cruise and it was predicted that the day of the large yacht was passing. This has not been proved the case because the cruises of recent years have been very successful. The change has been in the spirit of the sport and now cruising qualities receive greater attention and schooners take precedence over sloops. The fleet that goes east now is composed chiefly of wholesome two-stickers that require comparatively small crews. Refinements in sail plan have made possible this advance and there is little doubt that the modern staysail schooner is faster than the full-rigged cutter of fifteen years ago with her clumsy club topsail and complicated gear.

When racing was resumed after the War the fleet was small but the schooners were of the first rank and well handled, the most conspicuous being the VAGRANT , owned by Harold S. Vanderbilt, Commodore of the club from 1922 to 1924. He sailed her almost faultlessly and was successful in winning both the Astor and King’s Cups two years, an achievement that has never been equalled. Almost a sister ship this 109 foot Herreshoff schooner is Carll Tucker’s Ohonkara, which took part in a number of races. The Marriette of Boston completes a trio of combined racing and cruising yachts that would be hard to improve upon for accommodations and seaworthy qualities. Besides these there were the big Sonnica, Princess, Irolita and others.

The short high-sided Queen Mab played an important part in the squadron runs, because her low rating of 46 gave her a liberal handicap and she never lacked competent handling. Her owner, Nathanial F. Ayer, had the foresight to put a jib-headed mainsail on her and thus started the fashion that is so common among two-stickers today. While Mr Ayer owned her, she won the Vanderbilt Cup in an ocean race and also the Puritan Cup, the most important trophy regularly competed for, east of Newport. The fact that the handicaps are not quite sufficient to make up for the actual difference in speed adds to the significance of the long list of wins that Queen Mab has to her credit.

In 1923, Charles L. Harding of Boston, commissioned the Herreshoff plant to build a 68-foot waterline racer. This new schooner from Bristol named WILDFIRE , was the first to be built for a jib-headed mainsail. She was a roomy boat and her success, is shown by her winning of the Astor Cup for schooners. The King’s Cup winner that year was the Enchantress owned by C. oliver Iselin, who has had a great deal to do with keeping the America’s Cup in this country. The late A. Cary Smith, the master of the schooner rig, designed this 136-footer 1911. Before being cut down and sold to the Pacific Coast, she was the largest yacht without power.

The VAGRANT repeated her 1922 performance in 1924 and captured both the major cups, in spite of the close competition. William Gardner, who was long Herreshoff’s rival, was well represented by Flying Cloud , a beautiful craft which won the Astor Cup the next year. E. Walter Clarke, of Philadelphia, raced the Irolita, formerly a sloop of class K.

No deliberate attempt since 1914 had been made to build to the limit of the Universal Rule, so a great deal of interest was aroused when John S. Lawrence of Boston ordered a large schooner to be built to W. Starling Burgess’ design. The well known ADVANCE was constructed by Anker and Jensen in Norway and arrived in America after a forty-eight day crossing, just before the Eastern Yacht Club cruise in July, 1925. She immediately attracted great attention, partly because her hull was the result of knowledge gained from racers in the small Universal Rule classes, but more because of the rig between her masts. The faults of the gaff foresail and its topsail had been recognised for some time, but it was Burgess who discarded it entirely and set what amounts to a large jib below and an over-sized ‘Queen staysail’ above.

Originally it was planned to fill the larger part of the intervening space with sails hoisted on tracks on the foremast, but this proved impractical. Between the Eastern and the New York Yacht Club Cruises a new sail was devised to take care of the waste space. This rig, which is illustrated below (in the painting ‘Summer of ‘26’) has been variously described, but in spite of its odd appearance, it is fundamentally a refined fisherman’s staysail rigged so that it need not be lowered when the boat tacks.

Mr Burgess and Mr Lawrence in this way started the staysail rig so much talked of since. The last thing they added was the ‘sky staysail’ to fill the triangle above the quadrangular staysail. Many have copied this rig, incorporating their own ideas and 1926 saw a strange medley of sails between the masts of the schooners.

The reappearance of the two America’s cup candidates, Herreshoff’s successful Resolute and Gardner’s handsome sloop VANITIE excited popular interest in the 1926 racing. These 75-foot waterline sloops built in 1914, were bought by E. Walter Clark, owner of IROLITA , and Robert E. Tod, owner of the KATOURAS and completely refitted for cruising. Mr Tod sold his yacht to Mr Harry Payne Whitney before he left City Island. Their new schooner rigs were radically different, because the Bristol designer developed a clever but complicated spritsail arrangement, while Gardner reduced the number of sails to a minimum.

The WILDFIRE, FLYING CLOUD and VAGRANT all turned to the new rig and the Owen designed Lynx, designed in Italy and bought by Nathanial F. Ayer also used it. The early races proved that the Vanitie was better than the Resolute and Mr Clarke discarded the sprit for sails like those of the Advance. The invincible combination, of Charles F. Adams and Robert Emmons , which made the Herreshoff sloop go so fast in the Cup races, was now in command of the Vanitie and turned the tables on the boat they used to sail, for Resolute hardly won a race in which the Vanitie took part, with the exception of the Commodore’s Cup on the New York Cruise.

When the staysail rig was being adopted after the Lawrence schooner’s success in 1925, Herbert L. Stone suggested that it might be her hull that gave her the remarkable speed she showed. The wisdom of this was demonstrated when she won more races in 1926 than in her first season, in spite of the fact that the others had similar sail plans. It is not meant that this rig is not faster than the conventional one, but rather that it does not wholly justify the claims at times made for it. The difference in speed between a schooner with the most modern arrangements of sails and a Marconi sloop of like size and sail spread is probably much the same as the difference between the schooner and sloop rigs of the days when jib-headed mainsails were unknown. The improvement however, is readily apparent and the gaff can no longer compete with the staysail when speed is the object.

The result of the season’s racing gave the Advance a slight lead over the Vanitie, which was more than made up for by the winning of the King’s Cup by the Whitney schooner. She was the fastest in the fleet boat for boat and could save her time on the smaller craft as often as not. No finer craft has raced in many years.

The Astor Cup race brought seventeen two-stickers to the starting line, a number that has never before been equalled. The Advance finished well within her handicap but was disqualified, thus giving the race to the Pleione, owned by J. V. Santry, Commodore of the Corinthian Yacht Club. This little schooner was a New York Yacht Club 50-footer, re-rigged with staysails under L. Francis Herreshoff’s direction. She was also successful in the Vice-Commodore’s Cup race for the run from Vineyard Haven to Mattapoisett.

Taken as a whole it is apparent that the popularity of racing major yachts is increasing. The pleasure experienced in sailing a boat is recognised by thousands, but what arouses the interest of the average person is a story or picture of one of the great schooners in a cup race off Newport or Marblehead. It matters little to the general public what small craft do – the grace and beauty of the big yachts will always appeal to the greater number.

The Lasting Appeal of 1920s Commuter Yachts: Here’s a Slideshow of Six of Today’s Best

The idea – and then the reality – of commuter yachts started in the Roaring Twenties, when newly rich (and old-monied) Wall Street masters of the universe wanted a faster, and much more fun, way to commute to work from their estates on the golden North Shore of Long Island Sound than on the railroad. Think Gatsby, but with longer lives. As a result, sleek, low-profile, 20-knot yachts, usually with enough mahogany inside to populate a small forest, were born.

The elegant designs of commuter yachts, with their clean, graceful and often awe-inspiring lines, have lived on. Here’s a slideshow of six of today’s best from the Robb Report , ranging from Doug Zurn’s 45-knot Zurn Lynx, which looks like a modern version of a classic commuter yacht, to the futuresque Yachtwerft Meyer Silverline.

The Hodgdon Liberty Commuter Yacht, pictured above, is probably closest to the original commuters,  with its long sheerline, low profile and pronounced reverse transom. Built in Maine, this 80-foot Hodgdon has the mahogany interior of the original commuters, but it also has some carbon-fiber parts, including the mast, boom and rudder stocks. And it’s powered by state-of-the-art twin 1,100-hp MAN diesels, producing a 25-knot cruising speed. Read more and see the slideshow:

The top 10 largest classic yachts in the world

While the definition of a "classic" is certainly not clear cut, the term is generally applied to any wooden or metal yacht constructed prior to 1975. Embodying a traditional look that harks back to the glamorous, bygone eras of sailing, classic yachts retain their original construction materials and building procedures for the hull, as well as the rigging and sails if they have them. Though they cannot muster up the speeds of the world’s fastest yachts, classic yachts are priceless relics of history that have stood the test of time, carrying storied pasts as well as something of a celebrity appeal within the yachting community. The legendary El Mahrousa has held onto the top spot for over a century and it looks unlikely she’ll be moving any time soon; read on to discover our official list of the largest classic yachts in the world.

El Mahroussa | 150.57 metres

Measuring 150.57 metres, classic yacht El Mahrousa was first delivered by the Samuda Brothers shipyard in 1865 and managed to carry the title of the world’s biggest yacht unchallenged for over a century before eventually being surpassed by a new-build in the 1980s. She was originally built for the Ottoman governor of Egypt, Khedive Ismail, to receive visiting dignitaries, and was present at the opening ceremony of the Suez Canal in 1869. She also played a part as the Egyptian representative at the 1976 Bicentennial Fleet Review in New York harbour. Under the power of three Parsons steam turbines, she can reach a top speed of 16 knots.

She has been refitted multiple times; in 1872, when her paddle wheels were removed, she was lengthened by 12.1 metres. She saw a further extension of 5.2 metres in 1905. By the end of the 20th century, however, El Mahrousa had fallen into disrepair and was relegated to serving as a museum ship. In 1992, she underwent a major refit so that she could sail to Italy for the Christopher Columbus Fleet Review, and she now serves as the Egyptian presidential Yacht though she is seldom seen in public. She is usually berthed in Alexandria and is listed as a training ship for the Egyptian Navy.

• Builder: Samuda
• Country of build: United Kingdom
• Delivery year: 1865
• Length Overall: 150.57 m
• Beam: 12.98 m
• Gross Tonnage 4560 t

More about this yacht

More stories, savarona | 135.94 metres.

Savarona was first delivered by Blohm + Voss in 1937, and is named after a rare type of black swan found in the Indian Ocean. The 135.94 metre superyacht was originally built for American heiress Emily Roebling Cadwalader, whose family business constructed both the Brooklyn and Golden Gate bridges. In 1937, she was purchased by the Turkish state as a presidential yacht for Kemal Atatürk, the founding father of modern-day Turkey. Following Kemal‘s death, Savarona was renamed Gunes Dil (Sun Language) and used as a Turkish Navy training ship. After years during which her condition detirorated, she was eventually purchased by Kahraman Sadikoglu in 1989, who spent $35 million on her refurbishment.

Her current interiors were re-designed by Donald Starkey and can accommodate up to 34 guests and 54 crew. Guests on board will have access to an elaborate Turkish hammam bath that spans the entire 16 metre beam and a swimming pool, plus there’s also a private cinema for movie nights and a library suite adorned with personal artefacts belonging to her former owner Atatürk.

• Builder: Blohm & Voss
• Country of build: Germany
• Delivery year: 1931
• Length Overall: 135.94 m
• Beam: 16.12 m
• Gross Tonnage 4701 t

Alexander | 121.95 metres

Alexander was delivered in 1965 by German shipyard Lubecker Flender-Werke . She was designed entirely in-house and constructed in steel, with a significant refit undertaken in 1998. With a sizable length of 121.95 metres and a volume of 5,933 GT, there is plenty of space on board the blue-hulled Alexander for entertainment features. 

She boasts a private cinema, a number of al fresco lounge and dining areas, a dual swimming pool and jacuzzi with panoramic views out to sea, a formal dining room and a certified heli-pad on her top deck. Up to 54 passengers can be accommodated on board, served by a crew of 60. She is powered by twin MAN diesel engines that produce a total 16,100 HP, offering a top speed of 18.5. She boasts an impressive range of 4,100 nautical miles at a cruising speed of around 16 knots, allowing her to explore the high seas at length. She can usually be found cruising around the Greek islands and has also spent time sailing in the Red Sea.

• Builder: Lubecker Flender-Werke
• Delivery year: 1965
• Length Overall: 121.95 m
• Beam: 16.9 m
• Gross Tonnage 5933 t

Navtilvs | 115.76 metres

Sporting a towering funnel inspired by classic steamboats, the blue-hulled Navtilvs is easily recognisable from afar. The 115.76 metre superyacht was constructed with a steel hull and superstructure and delivered in 1973 by Greek shipyard Hellenic . She was designed by Prof. Cäsar Pinnau with naval architecture by Maierform . 

Navtilvs has a 14.45 metre beam and her 3,156 GT interiors were styled by Lorraine Bonnet. She can host up to 14 guests and 17 members of crew – but further details of on board spaces remain tightly under wraps. She is powered by two Semt Pielstick diesel engines, providing a total 8,720hp and allowing her to achieve a top speed of 14 knots. She has changed names and ownership a number of times but currently has a Saudi Arabian owner.

• Builder: Hellenic
• Country of build: Greece
• Delivery year: 1973
• Length Overall: 115.76 m
• Beam: 14.45 m
• Gross Tonnage 3156.48 t

Sea Cloud | 109.5 metres

When stockbroker and yachtsman Edward F Hutton married heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post in the 1920s, he introduced her to yachting aboard his three-masted schooner Hussar . Post and Hutton later built an even larger yacht with one more mast, Hussar II , which was designed by Cox & Stevens and delivered in 1931 by German shipyard Friedrich Krupp . The family would spend almost nine months of the year on board, cruising to adventurous destinations such as the Galapagos Islands or Hawaii.

When the couple divorced, Marjorie kept the yacht and renamed her Sea Cloud . She served as a patrol vessel for the US Coast Guard during World War II and in 1955 was sold to the Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujillo, who renamed her Angelita . After his overthrow, she was acquired by Clifford Barbour, who renamed her Antarna . New German owners rescued her from neglect in 1978, returned her name to Sea Cloud , and rebuilt her in Bremerhaven. In her current form she can accommodate 64 guests and 60 crew and retains her traditional interiors, with gilded finishes and fireplaces adding character to each of her 34 cabins.

• Builder: Krupp Germaniawerft
• Length Overall: 109.5 m
• Beam: 14.94 m
• Gross Tonnage 2532 t

Christina O | 99.15 metres

Christina O is one of the largest yachts to ever emerge from North America. She was delivered by Canadian Vickers in 1943 as HMCS Stormont , an escort frigate for North Atlantic convoys during World War II. She was subsequently purchased by Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis, who, in 1954, converted her into one of the most iconic yachts of the era, renaming her Christina after his daughter.

Onassis used his yacht to entertain many of the world’s rich and famous, including his mistress, the opera diva Maria Callas, and Sir Winston Churchill. Christina O set the scene for may of of Onassis’ love affairs and served as the wedding reception on his marriage to Jackie Kennedy.

Christina O was comprehensively rebuilt in Croatia in 2001, but the yacht retains many of her original features including the swimming pool with a copy of the Minoan mosaic from the royal palace at Knossos.

• Builder: Canadian Vickers
• Country of build: Canada
• Delivery year: 1943
• Length Overall: 99.15 m
• Beam: 11.13 m
• Gross Tonnage 1802 t

Nahlin | 91.44 metres

Nahlin has an enviable pedigree, having been designed by the revered naval architect G L Watson for the British aristocrat Lady Yule. While owned by Lady Yule she was loaned to Britain’s King Edward VIII for a cruise with his American lover and future wife Wallis Simpson, a trip that surely played a part in Edward’s decision to marry Simpson and set himself on the path to abdication.

She later became the Royal Yacht of King Carol II of Romania, who named her Luceafarul . After the overthrow of the monarchy, the yacht, now renamed Libertatea , served as a floating restaurant and fell into almost terminal disrepair. Happily, she was found and recovered to England by Nicholas Edmiston and William Collier in 2000. She lay in a Liverpool shipyard for four years before beign sold on to a British owner, and her total restoration, under the management of G L Watson, was completed at the Blohm+Voss yard in Rendsburg, Germany, in July 2010. This included the replacement of almost 70% of her riveted shell plating and the provision of a totally new modern-classic interior designed by Rémi Tessier .

• Builder: Brown J
• Delivery year: 1930
• Length Overall: 91.44 m
• Beam: 11.03 m
• Gross Tonnage 1356 t

Arctic P | 87.57 metres

Arctic P is both a classic yacht with a coloured history as well as a serious explorer who has set records with her far-flung adventures. She was delivered by Schichau-Unterweser as an ice-classed, oceangoing tug in 1969 for the Bugsier Towing & Salvage Company and prior to her conversion was involved in the 1972 rescue of a commercial expedition vessel that ran aground in the Antarctic.

In 1995 she was purchased by one of Australia’s richest men, Kerry packer. Her conversion project, overseen by Claus Kusch , saw her transformed into a private luxury superyacht. She now has amenities including a swimming pool and jacuzzi as well as accommodations for 12 guests and 25 crew.

Still an explorer at heart, Arctic P boats a 17,000 nautical mile cruising range and is well equipped for extreme conditions with a 50mm steel plating on the bow and 30mm on the ice line. In 2013, these features were put to good use when she sailed from the Falkland Islands to the Antarctic Peninsula, setting the record for the furthest journey south ever undertaken by a private vessel.

• Builder: Schichau-Unterweser
• Delivery year: 1969
• Length Overall: 87.57 m
• Beam: 14.78 m
• Gross Tonnage 2610 t

Yachts for charter

Hdmy dannebrog | 83.21 metres.

The Royal Yacht Dannebrog was launched in Copenhagen in 1931 for Queen Alexandrine, wife of King Christian X of Denmark. She displays the distinctive retro styling from the turn of the 19th century that was fashionable among many large motor and sailing yachts built in the early 1930s and features two masts and a steam funnel.

Named after the Danish word meaning "flag of Denmark," Dannebrog remains in service as the country’s Royal Yacht, manned by nine officers, seven warrant officers and 36 seamen from the Danish Navy, and she is regularly used for official visits to neighbouring countries and the many islands that make up Denmark. During her service she has travelled more than 300,000 nautical miles.

The hull’s construction is of riveted steel on transverse frames. The royal apartment in the stern of the vessel can be converted for the use of patients should the yacht be required in her emergency role as a hospital ship.

• Builder: Danish Royal Dockyard
• Country of build: Denmark
• Length Overall: 83.21 m
• Beam: 10.39 m
• Gross Tonnage 1054 t

Chakra | 79 metres

After undergoing an extensive refit in 2016, the 79 metre Chakra has a modern look that disguises her mature age. Delivered in 1963, however, this Van Der Werf is still considered a classic, and was originally used as a commercial vessel prior to an earlier conversion. 

Spanning five decks and offering an interior volume of 2,083GT, Chakra has a number of standout superyacht features. Her exterior spaces offer a swimming pool, beach club, dedicated yoga area and al fresco lounging areas. Moving inside her elegant interiors bedecked with art, she offers a gym, beauty salon and massage room and even hosts a piano on board. She also has a well-stocked toybox complete with tenders, dayboats, scuba gear, kayaks, seabobs and jet skis. She offers an impressive 10,000 nautical mile cruising range and can reach a top speed of 15 knots under the power of her MAN B&W Alpha 3,996hp engine.

• Builder: Van Der Werf

An Historic Mathis-Trumpy Yacht Makes Her Daring Return

The 1920s Freedom is restored to her original splendor, recalling the lavish era of classic motor yachts.

She must have been irresistible. What wasn’t to adore along the 104 feet of this regal watercraft? To Jessie Woolworth Donahue, daughter of retail magnate F.W. Woolworth and then one of prewar America’s wealthiest women, the vessel was indeed perfect. A slender beam ideal for gliding the intracoastal waters surrounding her Palm Beach house. A plumb bow that rose straight up from the waterline like the aquiline forehead of an aristocrat. A divinely proportioned counter stern with an elliptical fantail that curved gently up and aft with the grace of a ballerina’s gesture. Bronze scrollwork that glowed in the sun. A low, sturdy stack nestled alongside one heaven-reaching, raked mast. Behind, the romance of sail. Ahead, the power and promise of engines.

And within, the ultimate expression of how one lived: a trio of expansive double staterooms (plus one single), three baths, lounging and dining saloons (with mahogany walls, beams, and deckhouse), and interiors decorated in grand style by famed retailer Wanamaker (the decor alone was advertised to have cost $30,000). Irresistible.

Wealth. Opulence. Assurance. And perhaps most symbolically, a signal of one’s freedom to roam from enclave to enclave, from season to season, in high luxury. Sold, then, was the 1926 Mathis-Trumpy Freedom to Donahue. She was, of course, a member of the Gilded Age class that commissioned or acquired yachts with the same alacrity they built mansions and seized the goldenmost layer of the American dream.

“In these days, newly minted millionaires had their list of things to acquire, to check the box to be a proper millionaire,” says Earl McMillen III, a Newport, Rhode Island–based yacht restorer and de facto historian of the period. “You’d have a house in Palm Beach, Newport, or Bar Harbor in the summer,” he continues, “a shooting plantation in South Carolina or Georgia, and on that list was a proper yacht. It was a lifestyle that everyone saw.”

This maritime striving, according to author Ross MacTaggart, spawned a century’s worth of high-profile boats. The wave began in 1830, he notes, with an Englishman who commissioned the first known motor yacht: the steam-driven Menai, complete with paddle wheels that made her look like a hybrid of a submarine and a Mississippi riverboat.

While the design may have seemed maladroit, the outcome was profound: “For the first time,” MacTaggart writes in his book Millionaires, Mansions, and Motor Yachts, “an individual could control his or her vessel’s schedule.” No waiting for tides, currents, winds. And while the late 1800s saw the addition of luxury rail travel, the promise was more confined than the private yacht: “A millionaire still had to accept the fact that trains went where they could, not where you wanted,” MacTaggart writes. “What was the point of being a millionaire if one could not do whatever one wanted, whenever and wherever? And comfortably?”

Yachting's Gilded Giants

As the 20th century opened, and as industrialists and other millionaires like Cornelius Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, their offspring, and rising nouveau riche joined the elite rosters, naval architects strove to create vessels that matched those aspirations. Private motor yachts diversified: some built for ocean-going explorations, others—like Freedom— for cruising protected waters along the Eastern seaboard, and others still for speedy commuting from one’s estate, say, on Long Island to the New York Yacht Club’s dock at 26th Street on the East River. The costs to build these crafts (in the millions of dollars at the time), not to mention maintain them—all the way down the ledger to stylish nautical dress for every crew member—were monumental.

Morgan

And in the 1920s, many agree the form reached its design apogee. Designers like Jonah Trumpy were working at the peak of their craft, creating silhouettes of grace and proportion that carved their way elegantly through water and spaces throughout that matched those of mansions and country homes on land. It was a bright era that was snuffed out nearly entirely by the combined economic effects of the imposition of income tax in 1914 and the Depression thereafter, not to mention the rise in the use of automobiles, the improvement of roads, and finally, the new promise of air travel. As happens to all empires, the glory days of the great private yacht were closing.

But for McMillen, there were survivors to be found, restored, and relaunched. “If they’re lost, they’re lost forever,” he says, recounting how Freedom, in fact, nearly suffered that fate. From the hands of Mrs. Donahue, the houseboat (Trumpy’s term for his class of luxury yachts, whose interiors were emulations of all the comforts of home) had been sold in 1939 to a real estate developer in Florida who renamed her Sunset to promote his own Sunset Islands development near Miami. A succession of Florida owners followed, but by 2001, the craft was languishing in a warehouse in Jacksonville and slated for demolition. McMillen learned of the boat’s grim, looming fate from MacTaggart and moved quickly. He bought her for one hundred dollars and undertook the near-Herculean process to move her up the coast to his facilities in the greater Newport area (one of the nation’s centers of boatbuilding and restoration) and to raise the funds—$7.5 million—to restore her. In May of 2009, rebuilt painstakingly plank by plank, the yacht returned to service, thanks to a creative fractional ownership syndicate assembled by McMillen, and took her original name back. In 2010, Freedom won the World Superyacht Best Rebuilt award in London. “It’s the Oscars of the yachting industry,” McMillen says.

It’s no wonder. Brought back lovingly in full splendor, Freedom represents the very finest expression of the age and its aspirations. “Freedom was the most refined and finest-looking of the boats that [Trumpy] built,” he says. “The joinery, the details, the hardware…everything about her is sort of perfect in my opinion.”

McMillen laments a turn away from that balance and proportion among this generation’s newly minted billionaires. “Everything I see today, it’s glitzy and shiny and big, but you lose me there,” he says. “In my opinion, the billionaire of today is most interested in building bigger. They’ve lost sight of how to build a beautiful boat.”

“These wooden boats are organic,” he says, returning to the crafts he loves like family. “You get a sense that they’re a living, breathing organism. They have almost a human-like attachment. There’s something about going to sea on a wooden boat.”

One might almost consider it irresistible.

Yachting’s Dozen

Boats of all types captivate us for more reasons than we can reasonably relate, but all of our favorites exude a strong personality.

We talk about these boats from time to time and we’ve been lucky enough to experience a few of them firsthand, which got us thinking about how many amazing yachts our editors must have been aboard in this magazine’s 104-year history! With that in mind, we’ve searched back issues of Yachting to revisit a few of our favorites. These are by no means exhaustive — we could come up with another hundred we like just as much — but they’re a good start.

The list is motley but we tried to balance it by looking for yachts that were seminal in some way. Several of the following are historically significant, because they marked the beginning of a trend, showed the courage of the owner to defy convention or were the personal passion of a public personality. At least one met an untimely and tragic end. So many boats, so many stories. Enjoy.

J Class: the enduring appeal of the world’s most majestic yachts

• October 9, 2023

Only ten J Class yachts were built before the Second World War stopped the movement in its tracks, but in the last 20 years these magnificent sloops have made an incredible comeback. Why has the J Class remained irresistable? David Glenn explains.

One of the most awe-inspiring sights in modern yachting is the Spirit of Tradition fleet blasting off the start line at the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta. It happens every year at the end of April. Chances are it will include at least two J Class yachts, hitting the line on the gun at full tilt, exploding through the cobalt blue Caribbean rollers at anything up to 12 knots as they charge upwind.

Watching Velsheda , Ranger , Shamrock V and Endeavour will bring a lump to your throat, such is the emotion generated by these beautifully proportioned 130ft racing machines with their carbon rigs driving 170 tonnes of steel, aluminium and teak towards the weather mark. It’s heady stuff.

Watching them is one thing; racing quite another matter. In 1999 I was aboard the rebuilt Velsheda , taking part in the Antigua Classic Regatta. I had a single task as part of a four-man team – to tend the forward starboard runner. Nothing else. “Let that go once we’ve tacked and the whole rig comes down,” warned skipper Simon Bolt, as another wall of water thundered down the leeward deck and tried to rip me from the winch.

Dressed in authentic off-white, one-piece cotton boiler-suits, which had to be worn with a stout belt “so there’s something to grab if you go overboard”, they were tough, adrenaline-filled days out. God knows what it was like up forward as massive spinnakers were peeled and headsails weighing a quarter of a tonne were wrestled to the  needle-sharp foredeck as the bow buried itself into the back of yet another wave. Sometimes you daren’t look.

But with the race won or lost, back on the dock the feeling of elation, fuelled by being part of the 36-strong crew aboard one of these extraordinary yachts, triggered a high like no other. You knew you were playing a role, no matter how small, in a legendary story that began in 1930, was halted by World War II and then defied the pundits by opening another chapter 20 years ago. Today with five Js in commission, all in racing trim, and at least two more new examples about to be launched, the J Class phenomenon is back.

Why is the J Class so popular?

Why does a yacht with an arguably unexciting performance – they go upwind at 12 knots and downwind at 12 knots – costing £20 million to build and demanding eye-watering running costs, seem to be burgeoning during the worst recession since the class was born?

There is no single answer, but you only have to look back to the 1930s and the characters that owned and raced the Js on both sides of the Atlantic, sometimes for the America’s Cup , to understand why the class occupies a special place in yachting history. Underlying everything is the look of the J Class. It seems to transcend any change in yachting vogue, displaying a timeless line with outrageous overhangs and a proportion of hull to rig that is hard to better.

They possess true elegance. There is no doubt that captains of industry who want to flex their sporting muscle have been drawn to a class which only the very rich can afford and there are distinct parallels between J owners in the 1930s and those of the past 20 years. The difference is that in the 1930s owners liked to shout about their achievements and hogged the pages of national newspapers. Today, they are as quiet as mice.

Origins of the J Class

The J Class emerged in 1930 and marked a quantum leap in yachting technology, but comprised a hotchpotch of design altered over many years.

The J Class – so named because it was the letter allocated to its particular size by the Universal Rule to which the yachts were built (K and M Class yachts were, for example, shorter on the waterline) – emerged in 1930 and marked a quantum leap in yachting technology.

The so-called Big Class, which flourished in the UK in the 1920s, was impressive, but comprised a hotchpotch of design altered over many years. Yachts like King George V’s Britannia , built in 1893 as a gaff-rigged cutter but converted in the 1920s to Bermudan rig to rate as a J, Candida , Cambria , White Heather and schooners like Westward were even larger and more expensive to run. But as the greater efficiency of the Marconi or Bermudan rig became apparent their days were numbered.

One catalyst for the J Class itself was legendary grocer Sir Thomas Lipton’s final crack at challenging for the America’s Cup in 1931. He did so under the Universal Rule with the composite, wooden-planked, Charles E. Nicholson-design Shamrock V .

It was the 14th challenge since 1851 and the Americans, despite the withering effects of the Great Depression, reacted in dramatic fashion, organising their defence with four syndicates, each bulging with millionaires, putting forward separate Js: Enterprise , Whirlwind , Weetamoe and Yankee , which apart from Enterprise had already been launched.

Key to the American effort was the remarkable Harold Vanderbilt of the New York Yacht Club, who had inherited fabulous wealth from the family’s railroad companies, making him one of the country’s richest men.

Brought up on the family’s Idle Hour estate on Long Island Sound, he was a keen and accomplished sailor, and he used American technology and teamwork to build a far superior J in Enterprise. The defence completely overwhelmed Lipton’s effort. The British press castigated Lipton’s lack of preparedness and old-fashioned attitude. Vanderbilt, who among other things is credited with inventing contract bridge, left no stone unturned. “Mr. Harold Vanderbilt does not exactly go boat-sailing because summer is the closed season for fox-hunting,” stated an acerbic critic in the British yachting press.

Later when Shamrock was owned by aircraft builder Sir Richard Fairey and was being used to train crew for another Cup challenge, Beecher Moore, a skilful dinghy sailor who was draughted aboard the J to try to sort her out, reported in Yachts and Yachting many years later: “We found that when we got on board it was very much like a well-run country house, in that the gentleman does not go into the kitchen and on a well-run J Class the owner does not go forward of the mast.”

J Class tactics: Britain vs USA

A look at the huge gap between the British and American J Class tactics and designs in the early years of the America’s Cup.

In the early days there was a yawning gap between the way the Americans and British approached the Cup and, for that matter, how they ran a yacht. Revolutionary metal masts, Park Avenue booms to improve sail shape (the British copied this American design with their ‘North Circular’ version), bronze hulls that needed no painting, superior sails, and campaigns that cost £100,000 even in those days, blew away the Brits. Lipton had spent just £30,000 to build and equip Shamrock .

In the second Cup challenge in Js, in 1934, Sir T. O. M. Sopwith’s first Endeavour , also designed by Nicholson and equipped with wind instruments designed by her aircraft industrialist owner, nearly won the Cup, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory after leading the series 0-2. Sopwith was also up against Vanderbilt, who this time sailed Rainbow , which many considered to be the slower boat. But the British campaign was hobbled by a pay dispute – Endeavour ’s crew got £5 a week but they wanted a raise for ‘going foreign’ – and the campaign approach was again brought into question when the first thing to be stripped off the yacht when they won a dispute over reducing weight was the bath!

Back in Britain, the 1935 season proved to be the zenith of J Class and Big Class racing, although by the end of it the Js were under the cosh for their tendency to lose masts. Five went over the side that year and Endeavour II , launched with en eye on the next Cup challenge, lost hers twice.

There was added spice in the competition off the shores of the UK with the arrival of the American J Yankee , now owned by millionaire and Listerine businessman Gerard Lambert, who enjoyed sparring with the Brits. But even Yankee lost her mast and the press rounded on the class for being dangerous and wasteful! That wasn’t enough to stop Sopwith, whose tail had been extracted from between his legs following the last defeat in Newport: Endeavour II was towed across the Atlantic in a veritable armada that included  the first Endeavour. The British yachts found themselves up against the most advanced sailing machine the world had ever seen – Ranger , dubbed ‘the Super J’.

Vanderbilt was the man to beat again. Not only had he bankrolled the entire defence as American business remained beset by a struggling economy, but he used highly scientific means to perfect design. The brilliant naval architect Starling Burgess, who had designed for Vanderbilt throughout the 1930s, was now aided by the equally brilliant but considerably more youthful Olin Stephens. Between them they finally selected ‘model 77-C’ from six tank tested.

The yacht was considered ugly by some and not a natural to look at, but Vanderbilt’s team trusted the science (still the difference between the Americans and the Brits) and Ranger with her bluff or barrel bow and ‘low slung’ counter was the result. She proved to be dynamite on the race course and Endeavour II didn’t stand a chance. She was beaten in five straight races by large margins. The Americans and Vanderbilt had done it again. War then brought an end to an extraordinary era in yachting.

Only ten J Class yachts were built to the Universal rule and not a single American yacht survived. Most were scrapped for the war effort. In any case, the American way was to discard the machine once it has served its purpose. In Britain they faired a little better, and some Js were mud-berthed on the East and South Coasts. Two survived in the UK: Velsheda , originally built by the businessman who ran Woolworths in the UK (W. L. Stevenson named her after his daughters Velma, Sheila and Daphne), but which never challenged for the America’s Cup; and Endeavour , saved by becoming a houseboat on the Hamble. Shamrock ended up in Italy and survived the war hidden in a hay barn.

J Class resurgence

Seemingly resigned to the history books, the J Class made a triumphant return in the 1980s.

In his seminal book about the J Class, Enterprise to Endeavour, yachting historian Ian Dear predicted in the first edition in 1977 that the likes of the Js would never be seen again. By the time the fourth edition was published in 1999 he was quite happily eating his words!

The American Elizabeth Meyer was, without doubt, instrumental in bringing the class back to life when in the 1980s she extracted what was left of Endeavour from a  amble mud-berth, began rebuilding her in Calshot, and then moved her to Royal Huisman in Holland, who completed the restoration superbly. With the transom of the original Ranger mounted on a bulkhead in her saloon, Endeavour is still regarded as one of the best-looking and potentially fastest Js.

She was owned briefly by Dennis Kozlowski, the disgraced tycoon who ran Tyco, who famously said: “No one really owns Endeavour, she’s part of yachting history. I’m delighted to be the current caretaker.” Unfortunately he ended up in prison and the State of New York became Endeavour’s ‘caretaker’ before they sold her to her current owner, who has kept the yacht in the Pacific. She’s currently being refitted in New Zealand.

Ronald de Waal is a Dutchman who until recently was chairman of the Saks Group in the USA and has made a fortune in clothing. He has dedicated a lot of time to improving Velsheda over the years since he had her rebuilt by Southampton Yacht Services to a reconfigured design by Dutch naval architect Gerry Dykstra. Ronald de Waal steers the yacht himself to great effect and has had some legendary tussles with Ranger, the new Super J built in Denmark for American realestate magnate John Williams.

The rivalry between the two is fierce and even led to a collision between the yachts in Antigua last year. But Velsheda would have been lost had it not been for British scrap-metal merchant Terry Brabant who saved her from a muddy grave on  the Hamble and famously sold his Rolls-Royce to cast a new lead keel for the yacht. With very little modern equipment he sailed her hard in the Solent, chartering her and crossing the Atlantic for a Caribbean season, all without an engine! Without Brabant’s initiative Ronald de Waal wouldn’t have what he has today.

Shamrock V is owned by a Brazilian telecommunications businessman Marcos de Moraes who had the yacht rebuilt at Pendennis Shipyard in Falmouth in 2001. He tends to keep away from the race course but with a number of events being planned in the run-up to the 2012 London Olympics he might be tempted back. The latest new J to launch, Hanuman, a modern interpretation of Endeavour II, has recently entered the racing fray. She was commissioned by serial yacht owner Jim Clark (Hyperion and Athena), the American who brought us Netscape and Silicon Graphics, and who remains a colossus in Silicon Valley.

Hanuman, named after a Hindu deity, built by Royal Huisman and designed by Gerry Dykstra, has had no expense spared when it comes to rig and sail wardrobe. Last year she beat Ranger in the Newport Bucket but in March this year she lost out 2-1 to the same boat at the St Barths Bucket. They were due to meet again with Velsheda at the Antigua Classic Yacht Regatta in April. Another Dutchman, property developer Chris Gongriep, who has owned a number of yachts including Sapphire and Windrose of Amsterdam, has given the go-ahead for a new  version of Rainbow, which is well advanced in Holland at Freddie Bloesma’s aluminium hull fabrication yard. The yacht, reconfigured by Gerry Dykstra, will be in the water in 2011 with a full-on race programme.

About to be launched is Lionheart, the biggest J so far, redesigned by Andre Hoek and built in Holland by Claasen Jachtbouw, after an extensive research programme.  Unfortunately, her owner’s business commitments mean that he won’t be able to enjoy the fruits of this project – she’s for sale with Yachting Partners International and Hoek Brokerage. What an opportunity to join a class with such a remarkable history and one which looks destined to run and run!

A new trend in yacht design is emerging that combines retro-style with state-of-the-art technology.

Gresham Yacht Design recently released their concept plans for a gigayacht that looks like something out of a  Star Trek  film, with 1960s inspired interiors encompassing spaceship-esque curves, a floating glass floor, and 20th-century furniture.

Yacht enthusiast Jonathan Turner has taken things in the other direction. Instead of building a new yacht, he has updated a yacht from the mid-20th century with modern amenities.

Robb Report is impressed, and has named it ‘Boat of the Week’.

The authentic 121-footer ‘Fair Lady’ was built in 1928 by Camper & Nicholsons, with interiors designed by Charles E. Nicholson, one of the most famous names in yacht design in the early years of the last century.

The upgrades to the interior were conceptualised by yacht designer John Munford.

This unlikely dream-team of two designers separated by a century has resulted in a unique yacht.

Fair Lady’s mahogany-paneled walls and Art Nouveau furniture ooze original character, while the contemporary adaptations provide every modern comfort on board.

The Yacht’s original wheel and brass binnacle, for example, are installed  alongside the very latest electronics and navigational equipment.

The card room on the main deck retains the original pearwood detailing and the “chairs are the same as when it was built,” says Turner. “We know that because we’ve got the original photos.”

Fair Lady is Turner’s first yacht, but not his first vintage acquisition. He also owns a series of vintage cars, including a XK140 Jaguar and eight vintage Bentleys, one of which he drove in the Monte Carlo Rally.

If you want a vintage Bentley, there’s one for sale in Jozi for R400k.

Back to the yacht:

Since undergoing a significant refit at Pendennis in 2006, Fair Lady has had several return trips to the U.K. shipyard for maintenance. “It costs a fortune every year to get the timber varnished,” Turner says.

“It’d be so easy to cut costs and paint it, but that’s not what you do with antique furniture. I love old furniture, it’s got character and was built properly. Fair Lady is basically an Edwardian house on the water.”

The yacht boasts a sundeck with a breakfast nook, while each of the guest cabins is fitted with 1920s telephones (when was the last time you used the word ‘telephones’?) that have been converted to plug into a modern socket.

An old-fashioned radio has also been converted into an MP3 player.

“Everything on board–the doors, the handrails, the master cabin–is the same as when it was built,” says Turner. “I don’t want anybody to go on that boat, with all its charm and beauty, and see anything modern.”

Turner says that he doesn’t spend as much time on the yacht as he’d like.

He does plan on getting 12 friends together to “have some fun on board” in the near future.

Sounds like a good time.

Wooden Motor Boats of the Early 1920's Through the 1930’s

• 1930's Boats

• Horace E. Dodge
• Horace E. Dodge Boat and Plane Corporation

In this technological age, many neglect to reference the “written word” found in books. When I started this business 30 years ago, the internet was in its infancy and in true form, the only access I had to the history of Motor Boats was by flipping pages in old “Motor Boating” and “Rudder" magazines. One day a colleague introduced me to a collection of books, authored by Bob Speltz, who amassed a unheard of collection of stories on Motor Boat manufacturers. I was fortunate enough to acquire a set of 7 Real Runabout (ISBN info Below) volumes and was satisfied I had come across the Holy Grail of reference. I spent countless hours devouring the details in these books and found myself focusing on those manufacturers that changed Motor boating forever.

In pictures: The Roaring 20s

Posted: May 24, 2024 | Last updated: May 24, 2024

A century ago, the Roaring Twenties were well underway, Prohibition was in full force in the United States, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics was created. Here’s a look back at life 100 years ago.

A woman fortifies her drink with alcohol poured from walking stick

In 1919, the United States ushered in Prohibition , making it illegal to manufacture, sell, or transport alcoholic beverages. Law enforcement struggled, however, to keep up with the many ingenious methods that Americans devised to “elude the authorities, from alcohol hidden inside hollow walking canes to liquor flasks disguised as books.”

Building the Holland Tunnel in New York City

New York’s Holland Tunnel, which connects Manhattan with Jersey City via the Hudson River, was built between 1920 and 1924 , by “pneumatically pushing cylindrical shields through the river bottom.” At the time, it was the world’s longest underwater vehicular tunnel .

Starving Russian women kneel before American relief officials during the Great Famine

The Great Famine in Russia began in 1921 and continued into early 1922. Triggered by droughts, the famine also made the malnourished Russians more susceptible to diseases, such as typhus, smallpox, influenza, cholera, and the bubonic plague.

Although American relief efforts helped, between 5 million and 8 million Russians are believed to have died during this natural disaster.

Nazi Party members rally in Munich

In 1921, Adolf Hitler took the helm of the Nazi Party , which, at the time, was a new political group that endorsed German pride and anti-Semitism. The party pushed back against the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which forced Germany to make numerous concessions and pay reparations that led to widespread poverty in the country.

The reparations that Germany had to pay led to economic collapse and widespread poverty. In November 1922, the country defaulted on its reparation payments . This led to hyperinflation, which ultimately rendered the German mark worthless. By November 1923, it took 4.2 trillion German marks to buy one American dollar.

Mussolini and his black-shirted Fascists march on Rome

Fascist squads, in a uniform that included black shirts, marched on Rome in October 1922 and took over the government.

Irish Free State troops take the reins from British soldiers in Southern Ireland

After five years of struggling for independence from Britain, 80% of Ireland declared itself the Irish Free State , an autonomous nation though still part of the British Commonwealth.

An explosion occurs at the Four Courts during the Battle of Dublin

In 1922, even before the Irish Free State was declared, the Irish Civil War broke out when opposing groups fought over the Anglo-Irish Treaty. The war began in the summer, with battles in the streets of Dublin, including an assault on the Four Courts .

The Irish Republican Army (IRA) was against the treaty, while the Provisional Government was in favour of it. The pro-treaty side ultimately won, but not without leaving some 2,000 dead and thousands more injured, and a deep divide between the Irish Free State and the IRA.

An overseas railway connects the keys to Florida

It may be hard to believe now that Key West has become synonymous with mobs of spring breakers partying in the streets, but the island city and the continental United States’ southernmost point was once a small fishing village only connected to the rest of Florida by an overseas railway.

Greek refugees flee Turkey by boat after being expelled

Sadly, the harrowing scenes of refugees fleeing conflict by boat are not new. After World War I, Greece tried to expand its territory into Turkey, as granted by the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. Nationalist Turks, however, refused to recognize the treaty and fought back.

The resulting Greco-Turkish War (1919–1922) ultimately forced the Greek government to return the lands to Turkey, and the two governments exchanged minority populations. In the exchange, over a million Greeks were expelled from Turkey, while roughly half a million Muslims were forcibly removed from Greece.

The burning of Smyrna, Greece

On September 13, 1922, at the end of the Greco-Turkish War, Turkish soldiers set fire to the Greek and Armenian quarters of Smyrna . Much of the city was destroyed and an estimated 100,000 were killed.

The first meeting of the Allied representatives is held at the Conference of Lausanne

The Conference of Lausanne was held over the course of seven months, from 1922 into 1923, with representatives from Turkey, Italy, France, and Great Britain to negotiate a new treaty. In the end, Turkey agreed to keep its straits open to shipping, which was Britain’s main concern. The Treaty of Lausanne was signed on July 24, 1923.

In 1922, Lord Mountbatten married the wealthy Lady Edwina Ashley. The wedding was viewed as a major event and, at the time, the couple was considered “ one of the most glamorous [and] powerful […] in the British aristocracy .”

Attempting to summit Mount Everest

The 1920s saw a number of Westerners attempt to summit Mount Everest . In 1922, a British expedition, including Major Edward Norton and mountaineer George Mallory (pictured), attempted to summit in the spring, before the summer monsoon. The expedition failed to reach the top and seven Sherpas were killed in an avalanche.

Ku Klux Klan members meet at night outside Washington, DC

The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was founded during Reconstruction after the American Civil War . Although it disbanded near the end of Reconstruction, the white supremacist hate group experienced a resurgence in the 1920s.

During its resurgence, the KKK targeted Catholics, Jews, and foreigners as well as African Americans. As America transitioned from a rural to an urban society, the KKK appealed to many Americans who felt threatened by these changes. KKK membership rose steeply in the 1920s, with as many as 8 million members.

In January 1922, Washington, DC, was hit by a historic snowstorm . The storm was not forecast, and residents were caught off-guard. According to local media, up to 60 centimetres (24 inches) of snow fell in 24 hours on the nation’s capital, breaking records as the “largest amount of snow ever for a 24-hour period.”

Knickerbocker Theater roof collapses

The heavy snow made roads impassable and caused the roof of the Knickerbocker Theater to collapse onto moviegoers, killing 98 people and injuring 133 more . The disaster gave the blizzard its name.

Cars race at a derby

The 1920s are now considered to be the golden age of motor racing . There was much excitement about the well-crafted cars and “crazy contraptions” as well as the thrill of racing on both road courses and racetracks.

Doctors prepare for surgery

Surgery in the 20th century was much more advanced than in previous eras. It was safer and more successful, and could tackle a wider range of conditions, including certain transplants and plastic surgery.

Vladimir Lenin (left) and Joseph Stalin (right) clashed on both a political and personal level.

The strife between Lenin, the “elder statesman of the Bolshevik revolution,” and Stalin, the “ambitious rising party leader,” culminated in December 1922 at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre where 2,000 delegates from all corners of the Russian empire met to create the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. The conflict between the two titans was ultimately resolved by Lenin’s premature death.

A Soviet Committee is held in Petrograd

On December 30, 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) was established. At the time, it included Russia, Belorussia, Ukraine, and the Transcaucasian Federation (Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia). Committees were formed at all levels, including local governments, to ensure the new regime was properly administered. The USSR dissolved in 1991.

Local history: Liquor smuggling was a dangerous game during prohibition in St. Lucie County

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The death of Sheriff William Robert "W.R." Monroe of St. Lucie County in 1921 made an intriguing chapter in early St. Lucie County history. 

In the early 1920s, World War I had ended, the Florida land boom had begun and the Volstead Act — National Prohibition Enforcement Act — had just become law.  

The era was known as the “Roaring Twenties.” As with many small towns, the residents of Fort Pierce were divided between the drinkers and non-drinkers, the “wets” and the “dries.”  

Two headlines in the Fort Pierce News-Tribune published Feb. 13, 1921, read, “Call to Service” and asked men to wear black ties if they opposed alcohol; and the headline, “Two Secret Forces to Battle Whiskey Traffic and Enforce Law and Order in County.”

Monroe was 41 years old when he became the fourth sheriff of St. Lucie County in 1920. He had been a deputy for several years and served as chief deputy to Bill Jones, the previous sheriff.  

Monroe’s jurisdiction was huge. At that time, St. Lucie County included much of what is now known as Indian River and Martin counties, yet the entire population in 1920 was only 7,886. According to the 1920 U.S. Census, Fort Pierce, the county seat, had a population of 2,115. 

Other St. Lucie County settlements at the time included Jensen, Eden, Ankona, Walton, Eldred, White City, Viking, St. Lucie, Oslo, Vero, Quay (later Winter Beach), Sebastian and Fellsmere. 

Monroe died in March 1921 in an explosion while ferrying a boat loaded with captured liquor from Quay (Winter Beach) to Fort Pierce.

An entry in the Encyclopedia of Florida Sheriffs, 1821-2000, states:

“Around 4 a.m. on March 25, 1921, about a mile off St. John’s Island, St. Lucie deputies seized a cabin cruiser loaded with 200 cases of illegal liquor. Three men were arrested, and Sheriff Monroe was called to join them at the at Quay [later renamed Winter Beach] dock. As the sheriff piloted the boat down the Indian River nearing Fort Pierce, the boat exploded, killing him instantly and injuring two others. Sheriff Monroe was 42 years old, leaving a wife and four young children.”

More: Lake Okeechobee was wild, isolated place; early life was hard in early 1900s

A different version was told by the sheriff’s son, John C. Monroe, a longtime commercial fishing captain. In a December 2009 interview with author, J.C. Monroe, he stated he was 3 years old and lived adjacent to the St. Lucie County Jail when his father was killed.  

There was a house next to the jail and courthouse built for the sheriff and his family. J.C. Monroe declared someone broke his father’s neck and threw him overboard and then blew up the captured boatload of confiscated liquor. He said they blew up the boat in the Indian River by Oslo, between Vero and Fort Pierce. 

Capt. Terrell “Pappy” Hayes, a prominent figure in early Florida east coast commercial fishing, was the owner and captain of the ill-fated smuggling vessel. Hayes fished net boats from Cape Canaveral to the Florida Straits and was highly respected. He died in 1984 at age 87. 

During prohibition, liquor smuggling was a dangerous game — both for smugglers and the lawmen who pursued them. 

Steve Lowe, another renowned Fort Pierce fishing captain, recounted a story about his good friend Pappy Hayes. While sitting at the fish house one day, Hayes told Lowe how he had once brought in a load of liquor from the Bahamas to the Cape while being chased by the U.S. Coast Guard.  

He said he ran his loaded skiff through the slough near the beach at Cape Canaveral where the Coast Guard didn’t follow, either because the water was too shallow for their vessel or because they were not familiar with the slough that was known to fishermen.  

Capt. Hayes said they followed him from offshore firing 37-millimeter cannon shots as he led them back and forth. Eventually tiring of the game, the Coast Guard left and Hayes delivered the load successfully. 

The Fort Pierce News-Tribune reported in the March 29, 1921 edition, that on March 25, around 4:30 a.m., there was police activity in the Narrows, a passage just north of John’s Island in the Indian River Lagoon. St. Lucie County Deputies W. H. Donaldson and H. J. Sapp had intercepted and seized a large cabin cruiser loaded with nearly 200 cases of whiskey.  

The vessel’s crew — Terrell Hayes, Dozier Drawdy and Harry Benson — were taken into custody by Deputy Sapp, who took the suspects in another boat across the lagoon to a dock on the mainland at Quay.  

Deputy Donaldson followed them in the seized cruiser. When he arrived at Quay, Sapp called Monroe in Fort Pierce and asked him to come at once. When he arrived, Monroe instructed Sapp to take Hayes and Benson by car to the county jail in Fort Pierce. They left immediately. 

According to the News-Tribune’s account, Drawdy, one of the accused smugglers, stayed on board to assist Monroe and Donaldson and bring in the seized boat and its bootlegged whiskey down the Indian River to Fort Pierce.  

According to Donaldson, he and Monroe and Drawdy departed in the captured boat at about 8 a.m. and made good progress, but the boat ran aground three times in shallow water.

Donaldson said at one grounding Drawdy stripped off his clothes and went overboard to try and free the boat. Deputy Donaldson also went overboard to help but did not strip completely. He donned an army overcoat after climbing back aboard since his clothes were wet. 

It was sometime between 11 a.m. and noon, near Oslo — about seven miles north of Fort Pierce — the explosion occurred. Donaldson said Monroe was steering from the center of the boat just outside the cabin.

Donaldson stood beside him, and Drawdy, dressed only in his trousers, reclined on the stern. The last thing Donaldson remembered was reaching for the gas lever to cut off some of the gas. The boat exploded and instantly burst into flames. 

Donaldson said the next thing he knew he was in the water about 60 feet from the stern of the boat. Monroe, he said, was “splashing frantically in the water about 100 feet to the east of the boat” which was on fire. Drawdy was in chest-deep water about 150 feet west of the burning vessel.  

Donaldson yelled to the sheriff, “Here’s bottom, come over this way!” He said Monroe did not respond and sank. Donaldson swam to where he had last seen the sheriff, but could not find him. Donaldson and Drawdy then swam and waded to the west shore. 

The March 29, 1921 News-Tribune report continued:

“News of the catastrophe was telephoned to Fort Pierce, and boats from this and other points left to join in the search for the body. A number of parties also went by automobile to be of assistance in the search if possible. The search was continued for several hours but without success. Finally, a seine was secured from Fort Pierce, and with this the body was recovered about 3:30 o’clock Saturday morning, after having been in the water for over fifteen hours. The body was brought back to Fort Pierce by boat, reaching here about 6 o’clock Saturday morning."  “Examination revealed that there was practically no water in the lungs. The left eye was apparently blistered, the hair on the left temple singed, the nose blistered, and the hair on the right hand slightly singed. Otherwise, no injuries to the body were apparent. Evidently, the sheriff had been injured by the explosion and suffocated by the flames that resulted. The body was turned over to the undertaking establishment of Fee & Stewart. No inquest was held.”  “Hayes, Drawdy and Benson were released by the county judge under bond of $500 each pending a hearing on the charge of violating the prohibition laws of the state.” 

Terrell Hayes, the boat’s owner, was convicted of possessing illegal alcohol. Harry Benson received a mistrial and was scheduled to be retried. Dozier Drawdy was acquitted of any charges and freed. Hayes and Benson were released pending appeal and retrial, respectively.

The News-Tribune in the April 5, 1921 edition reported:

 “The courtroom ... was overflowing with interested spectators. The lawyers had difficulty selecting a jury and the state exhausted its peremptory challenges.” 

In small towns like Fort Pierce in the early 1920s, people were aware of each other's activities. The fishing and waterfront folks knew each other well and many families were related.

This may help explain why it was difficult to pick a jury for the Hayes, Drawdy and Benson smuggling trial of 1921. The prohibition that divided the residents between the “wets” and “dries” must have further complicated picking a jury. 

A subsequent grand jury investigation into the death of Sheriff Monroe determined no evidence of foul play.

The Encyclopedia of Florida Sheriffs account added:

 “There [were] no extant records of the disposition of the case against the three men.”

No further mention is made of the 200 cases of whiskey likely scattered in the Indian River Lagoon after the explosion. 

Tommy Taylor, a local marine mechanic and Hayes family friend, said in a 2018 interview that all a fellow would have to do to make an old boat blow up would be to loosen the overflow valve on the carburetor.  

But after carefully reading the 1921 newspaper account, Taylor became convinced that when the sheriff ran aground three times in the captured cruiser, he may have clogged the saltwater intake with mud or debris. This restricted water flow caused the engine to overheat.  

“That’s all it would take for an old gas-engine to blow up. They all had fumes. The deputy even said he was reaching to turn down the gas flow valve when the boat exploded,” said Taylor. 

Taylor believes the death of Monroe was an accident. Taylor also said Capt. Terrell Hayes never did anything wrong and didn’t even drink alcohol. The complete details of what happened on March 25, 1921, may never be known.

The sheriff’s son, J.C Monroe, died March 18, 2011, at age 92. He went to his grave believing that someone broke his father’s neck, threw him overboard and then blew up the boat. 

Terry L. Howard is a St. Lucie Historical Society board member and commercial fisherman. He has written several books about the Florida east coast commercial fishing industry and its people.

In the world of yacht brokerage, each journey is unique, and mine has been a captivating ride from roads to waters. I am Nate Evans, a seasoned entrepreneur with a background in the automotive service industry; I’m excited to share my story and why I chose to embark on the maritime adventure with Jeff Brown Yachts.

From Roads to Waters: The Evolution

Growing up on the water in Wilmington, North Carolina, instilled in me a deep appreciation for the maritime world. With over two decades of experience in the automotive service industry, I found myself yearning for a new challenge. The transition from car engines to marine engines was a natural evolution, guided by a genuine passion for the sea.

Discovering the Axopar Culture

The pivotal moment occurred at the 2020 International Boat Show in Dusseldorf, Germany. The Axopar culture instantly resonated with me, offering not just a boat but a lifestyle. Connecting with Jeff Brown and sharing our enthusiasm for nautical adventures, I knew I had found an amazing team with JBY, Axopar and Brabus Marine.

Client-Centric Approach: More Than Just Transactions

What sets the journey with Jeff Brown Yachts apart is the commitment to clients as individuals. Purchasing a yacht is more than a financial transaction; it’s a lifestyle choice. Understanding this, I take the time to delve into the unique boating desires of each client. The goal is not just to meet expectations but to exceed them through high ethical standards, hard work, and unwavering integrity.

Luxury rules at the moscow yacht show.

The windy Russian autumn weather might be a little bit tricky for sailing, but it doesn’t stop brave yachtsmen from all over the world from flocking to Russian capital in the beginning of September when the Moscow Yacht Show commences. The main Russian Yacht exhibition gathers professional and amateur yacht lovers together under the wing of The Royal Yacht Club.

This year it took place for a fourth time already. The exhibition is considered the principal event on the sporting and social calendar. The Moscow Yacht Show 2010 united in one area three of the largest Russian yachts distributors: Ultramarine, Nordmarine and Premium Yachts.

A wide range of yachts were on display for a week. An exhibition showcased yachts both from Russian manufacturers and world famous brands: Azimut, Princess, Ferretti, Pershing, Riviera, Doral, Linssen, etc.

It was a real feast for seafarers as visitors of the show had a unique chance not only to take a look at the newest superyachts before they hit the market, but also to evaluate their driving advantages during the test drive. The show provided an excellent opportunity for yacht enthusiasts to choose and buy a new boat for the next season.

The event started with the grandiose gala evening. It included grand dinner, the concert and professional awards ceremony for achievements in Russian yachting industry. The guests also enjoyed the annual regatta.

Special guest Paolo Vitelli, Azimut Benetti Group president, opened the evening.

Next year organizers assured guests they would bring more yachts, the scale of which will even make oligarch Roman Abramovich envious. Sounds very promising indeed.
