Broker Remarks

ACANIA was designed by J.H. Wells as a luxury diesel yacht, commissioned by Wall Street banker, A.E. Wheeler. She was built with no expense spared by the famous Pusey and Jones yard in Wilmington, Delaware, and is considered by many to be one of the very best vessels that this venerable yard created. Shortly after her launching in 1929, the vessel was acquired by a French film director and given as a gift to silent film actress, Constance Bennett, who entertained aboard until the government appropriated the vessel for service in World War II.
Operated and maintained by the United States government for the next 40 years, ACANIA served a number of different agencies in roles as diverse as tracking Apollo space craft, intelligence work, and oceanographic research. Returning to private hands in the mid 1980's, much of the vessel's interior was rejuvenated or replaced, to exacting standards, meeting or exceeding those of 1929. Her mechanical and electrical systems are modernized where desirable with such additions as electro-hydraulic drives for steering and anchor winch, etc.
Her watermaking capacity, large fuel tanks, low fuel consumption, and comfortable motion at sea combine to make her a unique and able long range cruising vessel.
