Launched. At Bloehm & Voss's yards in Hamburg, Germany, for Mrs. Richard M. Cadwalader of Philadelphia: Savarona, biggest yacht in the world, 407 ft. 10 in. (65 ft. longer than John Pierpont Morgan's new Corsair, 74 ft. longer than Julius Forstmann's Orion), with turbine engines developing 7,200 h. p., a speed of 17 knots, a crew of 100, built (with a gyrostabilizer) to look like a little ocean liner. Estimated cost: $5,000,000.

Sunk. On a reef off Cape Fear, N. C.: the famed Ingomar, once one of the world's finest steel schooners, built by Herreshoff in 1903 for Morton Plant whose skipper Charley Barr, with his customary long cigar in his mouth, was rammed by the Kaiser's Meteor when the Kaiser, at the helm, tried to substitute Royal prerogative for racing etiquet and kept across Ingomar's bow although he did not have right of way. Outmoded as a racer, Ingomar was owned for a while by the late great Marcus Alonzo Hanna's sporting son Daniel, later used as a houseboat by Spencer Borden, only recently refitted for sea service.
