The Esmeralda was originally built in 1897 as te Hiawatha in Morris Heights, NY shipyards with 219 ton steel hull with 147' long and 21' beam with a 1000 horsepower gas engine. The Hiawatha was one of the fastest and more attractive yachts on his times along the east coast and plied the Great Lakes as a pleasure yacht until the early 1920s. In 1924, it was purchased by Thomas J. Peters of Miami, who brought it home and renamed it Esmeralda. |
