Our principle of sustainable tourism 4
Avoid plastics; reduce water consumption; pro-
tect the environment. With this in mind we operate our ships and continuously develop environmentally sound alternatives.

Small and fine – this also means calling at
smaller ports off the busy cruise routes. With a maximum of 64 to 136 guests on board, we are always welcome there because we visit the people in the regions we travel to, rather than overtaxing them.
Buy regionally; work with local, medium-sized
agencies; pay fair prices: We see ourselves as partners of our regional service providers, with whom we have built up a trusting cooperation over many years. Because we also want our sea voyages to be a benefit for the people in the regions we visit.

The seven lives of the SEA CLOUD
Money was not an issue when Wall Street broker Edward Francis Hutton commissioned the “Hussar” in 1931. Concerning the interior of what at the time was the largest private sailing yacht in the world, he gave free reign to his wife, the glamorous Marjorie Merriweather Post. She furnished the fourmaster with a sure sense of style and carefully chosen antiques and thus gave the ship its distinctive character. At least nine months of the year, the Huttons spent at sea heading for the most exotic destinations.
A new life under a new name
But their life in the lap of luxury soon became clouded: In 1935, the affluent couple got divorced, and Ed Hutton signed the “Hussar” over to his exwife. She had the previously black hull painted white and also gave her yacht a new name: The “Hussar” became the
SEA CLOUD. And before the end of that
year, Marjorie got married to her old friend Joseph E. Davies. Henceforth, the attractive socialite moved not only in the circles of economic magnates but also became familiar with the world of politics and diplomacy. When Davies took on the position of US ambassador in Moscow in 1937, the SEA CLOUD was ordered to Leningrad as a floating (and bug-proof) diplomatic palace. Marjorie excelled at
Marjorie Merriweather Po and Ed Hu on
socialising within the diplomatic scene. Besides the Soviet notables, several crowned heads, among others from the Swedish and Belgian royal dynasties, happily accepted her invitations on board. But when Davies was appointed US ambassador in Belgium in June 1938, the SEA CLOUD had to bid the USSR
farewell.
A yacht’s war service
Few guests only are aware of the signifi cance of the small plaque that is affi xed to the face side of the wheel
house: Each of the fi ve brass angles indicates six months of active war service
for the USA. After the US entered the
war in 1941, the Navy began to acquire private yachts to reinforce the fl eet; and Marjorie and Joe Davies committed the SEA CLOUD to the Coast Guard for the
symbolic charter of one dollar – opinions differ whether this was from a patriotic sense of duty or due to economic necessity. With demounted masts and a grey coat of paint, the erstwhile proud luxury yacht cruised between the Azores and Greenland as a fl oating weather station.
Back to new splendor
After the end of the war, the refurbishment of the SEA CLOUD was to take
almost four years: Only in 1949, the windjammer, freshly painted white again, received an entire set of new sails. When
she fi rst appeared on the horizon under full sail, Joe said to Marjorie: “Well, dear, there goes your baby.” But meanwhile, someone else also coveted Marjorie’s baby: Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina, dictator of the Dominican Republic.
Retirement for a “Queen of the Seas”
In 1955, Trujillo bought the ship and renamed it “Angelita”. Mostly, his son Ramfi s used the presidential yacht – for parties with Hollywood stars like Zsa Zsa Gabor and Joan Collins. When Trujillo was shot dead on 30 May, 1961, a revolution unsettled his country. Carrying the dead body, part of the Trujillo clan and enormous amounts of cash, the “Angelita” set sail for Cannes. But the new government forced the crew to turn around: The
expensive heirloom was renamed “Patria” and put up for sale again.
Five years later, the Operation Sea Cruises Inc. under John Blue bought the ship. However, when the “Antarna” – that was the yacht’s new name – entered the US on the return journey from Naples, there was trouble with the authorities, and the “Antarna” was impounded. This was when Stephanie Gallagher appeared on the scene: At just 26 years of age, she was obsessed with the idea of an “Oceanic
School” and academic learning at sea. Although “Oceanics” settled all unpaid invoices, John Blue retained the ship’s papers. Stephanie Gallagher set sail nevertheless – and was now chased as a
“pirate”. In Panama, Blue finally came on board accompanied by attorneys and the police. Stephanie Gallagher had no choice but to give up.
Renaissance of a dream yacht
For eight years, the “Antarna” was berthed unprotected in the port of Colón and exposed to the damp climate. But she was not forgotten by the enthusiasts for proud sailing ships. One such aficionado was the German Hartmut Paschburg, sea captain and economist. Together with a group of merchants from Hamburg, he purchased the luxury yacht – and gave her back her old name, SEA CLOUD. But the hardest piece of work was yet to come: Captain Paschburg had to bring the yacht home across the Atlantic. In 1978, he gathered 40 men and women and together, they made the dilapidated yacht seaworthy again, then sailing her back to Hamburg. The shipyard “Howaldtswerke- Deutsche Werft AG” in Kiel carried out the extensive overhauling and alteration work; and eight months later in 1979, the SEA CLOUD, now reflagged, went on her first cruise. Since her latest refurbish-
ment in 2011, the windjammer not only conforms to the up-to-date SOLAS regulations (Safety Of Life At Sea) but shines in new splendor – as timelessly elegant as ever.
The unique flair of the SEA CLOUD inspired us and was both motivation and incentive to continue this tradition on
other ships. To build a traditional, squarerigged windjammer in the 21st century – while at the same time meeting the high demands of today’s cruise traveler – presents every shipyard with a particular challenge. These are not off-the-shelf
