Summary

[edit]
Description

A colorized view of the steam yacht "Lyndonia." Mount Battie with a tower can be seen in the background. Houses are also visible--this stretch is likely Sherman's Cove.

The Lyndonia belonged to Cyrus H.K. Curtis and was built in 1920 by the Consolidated Ship Company of Morris Heights, New York.

In 1940, she was sold to Pan American Airways. Her name was changed to M.V. Southern Seas. The U.S. Army purchased her in 1941 for use as a quarters ship, and she was officially rechristened the U.S.S. Southern Seas in 1942. She sank off of Okinawa during Typhoon Louise in October 1945.
