"A note in the lower right corner of Plan HH.5.02056 (028-057) Power Tender for Yacht Wildfire suggests that this tender carried the number 1-330." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. November 12, 2019.)
"This vessel's contract date was estimated from the date of the vessel it was made for. #891s Wildfire (for which this vessel was built) was contracted for 1922-12-13. Three plans for this boat are believed to be dated 1923 (even though they state 1922 --- apparently incorrectly. Note also that all castings related to this vessel and its job number 1-330 were ordered in February, May or June 1923." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. February 18, 2021.)
