Research Note(s)
"Apparently intended as a 33' rating class --- LWL would have been considerably longer. Nothing is known about this design beyond a sheet of pantograph hull sections dated October 30, 1905 and made by A.S. deW. Herreshoff and an entry in a table on p. 73 of NGH's Design Book No. 4 in which a 'Design for 33ft class for A.H. Alker Agust 25, 1905' is mentioned with identical dimensions."

Note: Research notes contain information about a vessel that is often random and unedited but has been deemed useful for future research.
