Huge Luxury Yacht.
Owned by Mrs. Post,
Unused but Manned

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Mar.
&c (NANA) A approximations
trophy of the divorce Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph E. Davies is the Sea
Cloud, the worlds biggest pri-
vate yacht, which for four years
has been laid up here in a ship
yard, unused although manned
and kept ready to sail.
Presumably the 350-foot steel
hulled brigantine clipper will go
to Mrs. Davies, who was granted
a divorce from Mr.. Davies in an
Idaho court earlier this month
and who is now known as Mrs.
Merriweather Post. She owned it
when she and the wartime Am
bassador were married, and, too,
1t would take an heiress to the
POST Toasties fortune to main
tain the vessel.
Since the yacht is idle and the
seven-man standby crew is on
full salary. the 68-year-old
heiress may intend putting the
German-b built seagoing beauty
on the market. But a purchaser
for a ship the size and scope Of
the Sea Cloud might well be
hard to find.
An indication of the clippers
dimensions is that Mr.. Davies,
when serving as envoy to Russia,
sailed her into Leningrad and
had the entire Moscow foreign
colony aboard for week ends.
Built in 1881 in Kiel
Originally christened the Hus-
sar, and boasting more teakwood
than any other vessel in the
world, the 2-323-ton. 5000
horsepower Sea Cloud was built
in 1881 at Kiel. For about 81
million at depths-of- -depres-
sion prices. three decks, four en-
gines, a double bottom, six mas
ter staterooms with private baths,
a bar and a smoking room
among other things-were in
stalled. It takes the full-com-
plement crew of u an hour to
raise the 80 sails. whose rigging
weighs 60 tons, up the four masts,
the tallest Of which rises 100 feet. !.
Yachtsmen estimate it would
cost at least $4.5 million to re-
produce the vessel today.
Under all her $4,000 square
feet of sails, which were hand
sewn in Sweden at a cost of $40,-
900, the Sea Cloud could do six
to nine knots. Her three en-
CINE rooms can push the cruising
speed to almost Is. But whether
at the dock here or on the high
seas. the yacht probably Is the
greatest concentration of luxury
afioat.
When. Mr.. and Mrs. Davies
sailed her all around Europe's
coast and along the United
States Atlantic coast, dropping
down into the Caribbean annu-
ally. the payroll for the sailors
and servants came to $500
monthly.
