Welcome aboard WANDA, a truly extraordinary piece of American maritime history.
Built in 1922 by the renowned Blanchard Boat Yard in Seattle and designed by legendary naval architect Ted Geary, WANDA is a 90-foot gentleman's motor yacht originally commissioned for Henry L. Stimson, who served as United States Secretary of State and Secretary of War.
At more than 100 years old, WANDA remains one of the oldest and largest substantially unmodified classic motor yachts in the United States, according to her ownership history.
Unlike many yachts from this era that have been converted for commercial purposes or dramatically altered, WANDA has retained much of her original character, craftsmanship, and architectural beauty.
The formal dining room is another extraordinary space aboard WANDA. This is where the yacht's history and attention to detail become especially apparent.
