USS Sequoia


     This is the former presidential yacht USS Sequoia.  The Sequoia is a 104' Trumpy design built in 1925/26 for a private individual who then resold the vessel to the president of the Sequoia Oil Company.  In 1931 the US Government purchased the vessel for prohibition sting operations and this was the start of her government service.  Today the vessel is in private ownership and is available for private charters.  In the photo below, the Sequoia is shown with Big Run after she was moved to our dock for a private reception.
