Comment:
"The 189ft LOA steam yacht Colonia for which this dinghy was initially modelled was owned by F. G. Bourne and was neither Herreshoff-built nor -designed (she was designed by Gardner & Cox and built in Chester, PA in 1899). This Colonia is not to be confused with the Herreshoff-built America's Cup defender #435s Colonia.
#221p was added by CvdL to the list of vessels built from this model because of identical dimensions of both hull and screw and because of identical type of propulsion." (Source: van der Linde, Claas. 2008.)
