Comments

Horace Dodge, the youngest of the Brothers and the ‘mechanic’ of the two, loved yachting.  In 1904 he ordered a 40-foot launch and by 1910 he owned two other larger vessels, both named HORNET.  As Horace had always liked to develop his own sources of power, he created the Dodge Marine Division in addition to the car business.

 

 

The 258-foot DELPHINE was built in 1920 and was his fourth yacht and named after his only daughter, The splendid yacht DELPHINE was launched on April 2, 1921.  At that time she was the largest yacht in tonnage ever built in the USA.

 

 

DELPHINE could reach a speed of 15 knots with her quadruple steam expansion engine designed by Horace Dodge.  This powerplant gave approximately 150 revolutions a minute, while the required pressure of 250 p.s.i. was produced by three American Babcock and Wilcox boilers.  Even today DELPHINE’s engine is unique, as most of the steam engines ever built were of the triple expansion type!

 

 

In 1926 DELPHINE disastrously caught fire and sank during a charter in New York. Anna Dodge, Horace Dodge’s wife, ordered later the recovery and restoration of DELPHINE.

 

 

In January 1942 the U.S. Navy acquired the yacht and converted her into U.S.S.  DAUNTLESS PG61.  She was to be the flagship of Admiral Ernest King, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Fleet and Chief of Naval Operations. Shortly after the war, it is reported that several world leaders, including President Roosevelt, went onboard to discuss war strategies with Admiral King.

 

 

From 1955 DELPHINE was to be permanently docked at her private pier with only 3 of the 55 crewmembers onboard.  She was finally donated to ‘the People to People Health Foundation’ in 1967.  One year later DELPHINE was re-born as part of the Lundeberg Maryland Seamanship School. They renamed her DAUNTLESS.  For nearly 20 years she was to serve as a training ship for merchant seamen.

 

 

From February 1998 onwards until July 2003 SS DELPHINE had a full restoration. The engineer Antoine Wille was in charge to implement all SOLAS, MARPOL and other rules onboard the vessel, while the owner looked for the finishing of the decorations and interior.

 

 

During the restoration which took place in Brugge, she went 3 times into dry dock (Ostend and Gent in Belgium and Hansweert in the Netherlands ).

After a   lot of ups    and downs, the owner   had the result   that   he wanted:

A classic old yacht with modern comfort ready for charter

 

In August 2003 she finally steamed from the North of Europe by Brest, Lisbon, Palma de Mallorca and Marseille to her new homeport Monaco . On September 9, 2003 she officially arrived there and the next day Princess Stéphanie of Monaco baptised her into her new life
