Sea Cloud, a lovely cruise boat that pulled in yesterday.  They use serious-looking survival craft to ferry passengers around the harbor.


Originally a private yacht built for E.F. Hutton, Sea Cloud (then Hussar II) was transferred to the Coast Guard and then to the Navy during World War II. Following the war it was returned to private ownership and served as a yacht for numerous people, including as the presidential yacht of the Rafael Trujillo. The ship currently sails in Europe and the Caribbean as part of the Sea Cloud fleet of Hamburg, Germany.
