Marquis of Bute's yacht?


Marquis of Bute's yacht?

Taken in Majorca as I had seen same boat lying in the Port Bay, Isle of Bute previously



    are you thinking of the king duck?

    that was the marquis's boat but i'm pretty sure she was broken up a fair few years ago now.
    Do you reckon this is her:

    Just a guess...By the looks of the one in the photo she was either a steam yacht in her day,or built in the 30s on the lines of a steam yacht....as I say,just a guess.

    Don't think thats her Steve, and don't think its the King Duck Shadrapper, seen this one lying in Port Bay years ago then spied her in Majorca mid 90's thats the reason I took the pic
    Looks the business, better than the most of the clone plastic stuff around these days, wouldn't turn one away as a gift though O0
    aye wid look fine at the helm of that one all the topless babes lyin on the fordeck sipping champagne,,,, O0
    Sure I have seen a pcture of this one on another site think she was called Mauna Loa.
    Hi Dowler
