A steam yacht from 1921
Horace E. Dodge, co-founder of the Dodge car company, commissioned SS Delphine in 1921 and named her after his daughter. She is considered the last large steam yacht still sailing in her original configuration.
During the Second World War the US Navy requisitioned her and renamed her USS Dauntless. She served as flagship for Admiral Ernest J. King, and Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill were among her guests.
Restored, and renamed in Monaco
A restoration brought back her original look, classic interiors included. In 2003 she was renamed during Monaco Classic Week, with Princess Stéphanie of Monaco as her godmother.
On deck, we dressed the long table with a continuous line of green hydrangeas.
