This boat was the owner's launch for Frederick Vanderbilt's famous yacht "Vedette". The owner's launch was literally a seagoing limousine: the driver sat in an open cockpit forward, the passengers in an elegantly appointed cabin or ?saloon? aft (hence the term saloon launch). She is 26" long, built by Consolidated Shipbuilding of double planked cedar over oak with teak deck and cabin. This boat was last known to have been in service in 1962. She is complete except for her original Consolidated Speedway gasoline engine and requires total restoration. This is an extremely rare, genuine survivor of the Golden Age of Yachting: a true piece of yachting history owned and used by one of the 20th century's great yachting families. Her provenance has been thoroughly documented. For the classic boat enthusiast or the knowledgeable collector who desires only the most significant and unique, This is one of the most important vessels on the market today.
