The ship, launched in 1921, was named after the daughter of the founder of the automobile giant Dodge. Two 1,500 horsepower engines were powered by three steam boilers. In 1926, during a fire, the yacht went down. The U.S. Army expended much effort to raise her to the surface. In 1942, Delphine was assigned to Horace Dodge's widow. After all the adventures she had, she ended up in the hands of a Belgian industrialist who made his fortune manufacturing textile products. Today he can be proud of owning the last working steam yacht in the world. Since 2008, the yacht has been on the market for $49,500,000.
Previously this boat was called: Delphine; U.S.S. Dauntless PG61; Dauntless
