HE'LL SAIL THE OCEAN BLUE
IN HIS 18-KNOT TWIN SCREW.
Commodore D. C. Jackling is the
way the well-known copper magnate
should be addressed henceforth, as
he has ordered a sea-going yacht,
with binnacles, lee scuppers, peak
halyards and all that sort of thing.
says the Salt Lake Herald-Republican.
Contract for construction of the
mining man's private craft was let
Saturday to the Seattle Construction
and Drydock company, according to
dispatches received from Tacoma and
confirmed by
Colonel-er-Commodore
Jackling himself.
The new yacht will be a palatial
twin-screw affair and will cost, it is
said, between $300,000 and $350,000.
"I hope it don't cost that
much," sighed Mr. Jackling, as he
modestly admitted that, indeed, he
was going in for a ship of his own.
The vessel is scheduled for completion
by June 1. Irving Cox of Cox
& Stevens, naval architects of New
York, represented Mr. Jackling in
the deal for the building of the
yacht.
He will supervise the construction.
The vessel will be of steel construction,
equipped with twin screws and is designed
as the finest of her class ever built on
the Pacific coast.
She will be 212 feet over all, 27.6
feet beam and capable of maintaining
speed of eighteen knots an hour.
She will be finished throughout in
teakwood and mahogany. The plans
call for a wireless room and equipment.
