Commissionned by Emily Roebling Cadwalader in 1931 she was the largest yacht built at that time. In 1938 she was sold to the Turkish Government as a state yacht for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. After his death she became neglected until she was converted into a training ship and renamed GUNES DIL. In 1979 a fire destroyed a large part of her and she was left abandoned. Later she was rescued by Kahrama Sadikoglou and underwent an extensive refit from 1989-1992 to become a luxury charter yacht which she remains operating as today.
