The steam yacht Lucille, Mr. Chas.

The Lucille belongs to the same family as the Stiletto, and was launched too late this spring to get into Olsen's List. She was built at Bristol by the Herreshoffs, and launched in April. She is 90ft. long, 11 1/2ft. beam, 4 1/2ft. draft, of 24.11 tons N. M., has two masts, and is supplied with Herreshoff's improved square boilers, maximum steam pressure 140 pounds. The engines are compound, two cylinders, 8x14 and 14x14, of 120 ind. H. P. The Lucille has the fine lines and sharp bow of these builders, flush deck and ample headroom below. The hull is divided in five water-tight compartments by iron bulkheads, with roomy cabin, staterooms, etc., furnished in mahogany. She is a most comfortable cruising yacht and speedy, having shown upwards of seventeen miles without crowding. ... DORSAL FIN." (Source: Anon. (Dorsal Fin.) [No title.

"THE steam yacht Lucille, Mr. Chas. Kellogg's new Herreshoff No. 122, left Seventy second street, North River, eastward bound, for a cruise of two weeks on June 14 [1885].
A beautiful morning of bright sunshine which tempered a rather cool breeze from the southwest, made sitting on deck and watching the other craft passing- very pleasant. Vessels of all kinds covered the water, the excursion steamers and barges, with flags and streamers flying, were lying at the various piers, while pleasure seekers were crowding on board. The Battery Park was filling up with Sunday morning loungers as we passed, and on the seats the regular park tulips looked as comfortable and permanent as usual.
On past the Barge Office and up East River we steamed, and under the great bridge --- which looked like some mighty cobweb stretched across the sky-dodging ferryboats and craft of all sizes crossing and recrossing our course, until Blackwell's Island was passed: then turning into the eastern channel of Hell Gate, we threaded the eddies and currents or that dangerous locality, and out upon the broad, placid bosom of the Sound.
... We did not land at Newport, but kept on up the bay, and at 12:30 P. M. [on June 15, 1885] reached Bristol Harbor, and made fast to the Herreshoffs Company's pier. Some slight changes in the fittings on board being deemed desirable, while the workmen were engaged upon it we passed the time pleasantly in inspecting the new steam yacht Ladoga, which had been launched a few hours before our arrival, and in looking over again the famous yacht Stiletto, which lay at her moorings near by. ...

"Mr. Chas. Kellogg's steam yacht Lucile left her anchorage July 10 [1885] for a cruise in the St. Lawrence and lakes. She will go to Albany, and after lowering masts, etc. proceed, via Erie Canal and Lake Cayuga, to Ithaca, where she will take owner's family on board. Thence to Oswego and the lake to the Thousand Islands for an extended cruise." (Source: Anon. "Lucille." Forest and Stream, July 16, 1885, p. 500.)

Note: This list of archival documents contains in an unedited form any and all which mention #122p Lucile [Lucille II] even if just in a cursory way. Permission to digitize, transcribe and display is gratefully acknowledged.

• Lucile (HMCo-made index card)
• Lucile (MIT Museum-made index card)
• Note: The vessel index cards comprise two sets of a total of some 3200 cards about vessels built by HMCo, with dimensions and information regarding drawings, later or former vessel names, and owners. They were compiled from HMCo's early days until 1920 and added to in later decades, apparently by Hart Nautical curator William A. Baker and his successors. While HMCo seems to have used only one set of index cards, all sorted by name and, where no name was available, by number, later users at MIT apparently divided them into two sets of cards, one sorted by vessel name, the other by vessel number and greatly expanded the number of cards. Original HMCo cards are usually lined and almost always punched with a hole at bottom center while later cards usually have no hole, are unlined, and often carry substantially less information. All cards are held by the Francis Russell Hart Nautical Collections of the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Mass.

• Lucile
• Note: The L. Francis Herreshoff index cards comprise a set of some 1200 cards about vessels built by HMCo, with dimensions and / or ownership information. Apparently compiled in the early 1930s, for later HMCo-built boats like the Fishers Island 23s or the Northeast Harbor 30s are not included. Added to in later decades, apparently by L. F. Herreshoff as well as his long-time secretary Muriel Vaughn and others. Also 46 cards of L. F. Herreshoff-designed vessels. The original set of index cards is held by the Herreshoff Marine Museum and permission to display is gratefully acknowledged.

Note: The transcription of the HMCo Construction Record by Peter Vermilya and Maynard Bray was performed independently (and earlier) than that by Claas van der Linde. A comparison of the two transcriptions can be particularly useful in those many cases where the handwriting in the Construction Record is difficult to decipher.

"In the absence of better available data displacement was estimated by using the figure for Old Measurement Tons (41.9) from the 1885 Olsen's American Yacht List (New Measurement Tons were reported as 24.11) and converting to lbs by dividing through 2000 (short tons). Note that this figure can only be a rough estimate because register tons as reported in Yacht Registers correlate only loosely with actual displacement figures." (Source: van der Linde, Claas.

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