The emperor of Germany's new
pleasure yacht, which is being built by
the Townsend & Downey Shipbuilding
company from designs by Cary Smith
and Barley, will be launched early in
February, says the New York Evening
Post At least that is the present plan,
and as size is almost plated now no de-
lay is probable. Wien completed, she
will be the biggest schooner yacht
atloat, her dimensions being 1G1 feet
over all, with a beam of ~ feet. To
carry out the emperor's commands her
finish throughout will be plain and
substantial. yet she will be little short
of floating palace when put into
commission.
Cary Smith in giving description Of
the yacht said: ITO give some idea of
her size it will be quite possible, with
awnings set and curtains at the side.
to give court ball on her deck. All
her work. such as deckhouse skylights
and rail, will be of selected teakwood
and all capstans, winches, etc, Of
bronze. Situated aft is deckhouse of
steel cased with teak. This deckhouse
serves as the main companion leading
below and in addition will be used in
dirty weather and will allow view
of what is taking place on deck. The
stairs from the deckhouse lead to a
vestibule where are found chart
case, shelves for chronometer, nautical
Instruments and locker for hanging
oiskins. Aft. opening from the vesti-
bule, is the ladies' cabin, fitted with
two berths, sofas. writing desk and
large marble washstand and mirror.
There is bathroom on the star
board side opening directly from the
ladies' cabin and opening from the
passage leading from the vestibule to
the saloon are three staterOoms and
bathroom for the gentlemen in waiting.
Each room has bureau, marble wash
stand and sofa. The owners room is
on the starboard side just aft of the
saloon. This is large saloon, some
thirteen feet long, and it contains
brass bedstead several wardrobes.
dressing table and writing desk. This
room has a large skylight. Indeed it
is feature of this yacht that every
room has ventilation not only by dead
lights through the side. in the usual
manner, but also by means of sky
lights.
"For supplementary ventilation mush-
room ventilators are fitted along the
side made OF a special pattern, accord
ing to sketches furnished by the EN-
peror himself. Just aft of the owners
stateroom is bathroom, beyond which
is Wallets room. 1t has been the in
ter..ion to have the staterooms few in
nur. her, but of large size. The main
saloon extends the whole width of the
boat and is eighteen feet long. There
is transom on each side, a piano at
the after end and an open fireplace at
the forward end. The large extension
table in the center will seat twenty
-four people.
throughout the owners quarters
the woodwork will be of mahogany,
enamel painted ivory color, touched up
with gold, with but small amount OF
the trim showing the natural wood.
Thus the idea of simplicity, is carried
out. Forward of the saloon is large
owners galley and an entirely sepa-
rate galley for the officers and crew.
There are four good rooms for the OIL
GERS. and forward of the crews galley
and separated from it by steel bulk
head is very roomy forecastle, fitted
with berths for twenty men. The
forepeak has ample room for boat
swain stores and two tanks containing
oil, to be used in heavy weather. The
emperor is taking great interest in
this his latest yacht and has given de-
tailed orders as to how she is to be fit
ted below. All questions relating to
the design, rig and outfit, however.
have been left entirely to the design
ers."
