Description

SS Delphine

SS Delphine is a yacht commissioned by Horace Dodge, co-founder of Dodge Brothers. The yacht was launched on 2 April 1921, and spans 258 feet (79 m). Power was originally supplied from three Babcock & Wilcox boilers[1] powering two 1,500 horsepower (1,100 kW) quadruple expansion engines.[2] In her 2003 refit Delphine was re-equipped with two modern water-tube boilers operating at 20 bars (290 psi), the larger of which has an evaporation capacity of 14 metric tons (31,000 lb) of steam per hour while the smaller can evaporate 4 metric tons (8,800 lb) per hour;[3] these new boilers supply the original quadruple-expansion engines. "Of all the large American-built steam yachts built between 1893 and 1930, the Delphine is the only one left in her original condition with her original steam engines still in service."[2]

The Delphine caught fire and sank in New York in 1926, to be recovered and restored. She suffered further damage in 1940 when she ran aground in the Great Lakes, and was repaired. She was acquired by the United States Navy in January 1942 and rechristened USS Dauntless (PG-61), to serve as the flagship for Admiral Ernest King, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Fleet and Chief of Naval Operations. She was sold back to Anna Dodge (Horace Dodge's wife) after the conclusion of World War II and restored to civilian standards and service, including her original name.[1]

Delphine changed hands in 1967 and again in 1968, changing names again to Dauntless, only to be sold again in 1986, 1989, and in 1997 - at scrap metal prices to her next owners - who proceeded to restore her for $60 million to the original 1921 condition including interior decor and the original steam engines.[2] She was rechristened Delphine by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco on 10 September 2003. She was recently acquired by its current owners in 2015 and will return to its home port of Monaco for the 2017 charter season.

SS Delphine é um iate comissionado por Horace Dodge , co-fundador da Dodge Brothers . O iate foi lançado no dia 2 de abril de 1921 e atinge 258 pés (79 m). Power foi originalmente fornecido a partir de três Babcock & Wilcox caldeiras [1] ligar dois de 1.500 cavalos de potência (1.100 kW) motores de expansão quádruplo. [2] Em sua remodelação de 2003, a Delphine foi re-equipada com duas caldeiras de tubos de água modernas que operam a 20 bares (290 psi), sendo que a maior capacidade de evaporação é de 14 toneladas de vapor por hora, enquanto a Menor pode evaporar 4 toneladas métricas (8,800 lb) por hora; [3] estas novas caldeiras fornecem os motores originais de expansão quádrupla. "

O Delphine pegou fogo e afundou em Nova York em 1926, para ser recuperado e restaurado. Ela sofreu maiores danos em 1940 quando encalhou nos Grandes Lagos e foi reparada. Ela foi adquirida pela Marinha dos Estados Unidos em janeiro de 1942 e rebatizou o USS Dauntless (PG-61), para servir como o carro-chefe do almirante Ernest King , comandante em chefe da frota dos EUA e chefe de operações navais. Ela foi vendida de volta a Anna Dodge (esposa de Horace Dodge) após a conclusão da Segunda Guerra Mundial e restaurada para padrões e serviços civis, incluindo seu nome original. [1]

Delphine mudou de mão em 1967 e novamente em 1968, mudando de nome novamente para Dauntless , apenas para ser vendido novamente em 1986, 1989 e, em 1997, em preços de sucata para seus próximos proprietários - que procedeu a restaurá-la por US $ 60 milhões para o original Condição 1921, incluindo decoração de interiores e as máquinas a vapor originais. [2] Ela foi rebatizada Delphine pela princesa Stéphanie de Mônaco em 10 de setembro de 2003. Ela foi adquirida recentemente pelos seus atuais proprietários em 2015 e retornará ao seu porto de origem do Mônaco para a temporada de charter de 2017
