Provenance: a Private Collection in England - Note: this is a model of a medium size Cruising Yacht from of the 1920s, a vessel that was approx. 40-50 feet long (12-15 Meter) long. This was a boat which was sailed for cruise and pleasure purposes. The name of the vessel suggests that the owner named his yacht after a young Lady.
