Design 22 El Nido

This 51' power yacht was built by Lemos Brothers of Rhode Island in 1936. The following article tells the story. Double click for readable view.


Here's an interior image.


I can see from the files that concurrent to the construction of this boat, a larger (58' LOA) version also named El Nido was being designed/built. Here it is, design #76.


Unfortunately for the bigger version there is an ominous note in the file that states "burned during construction".
