Our take.
The original celebrity yacht. If these teak decks could talk they'd need a lawyer.

What they say about her.
The bar stools are upholstered in whale foreskin
The most infamous yacht trivia ever told: the bar stools were covered in whale foreskin.
Our take: It's been repeated by historians for decades. Different times. Very, very different times.

Stories from on board
Been on her? Spill it.
Worked a season, crashed a party, waved from a dinghy. True, tall or somewhere between. The community votes.
Log in to tell yoursMy grandad swears he saw a very famous opera singer on deck when she visited London in the 60s. He also swears he can still sing. One of these is true.
Did a day charter as a deckhand on her years ago. The bar is exactly as dramatic as the stories. I didn't ask about the stools.
