{"product_id":"steam-yacht-varuna-robert-morley-stokes-9781468005448","title":"Steam Yacht VARUNA","description":"In 1896 an American millionaire, Eugene Higgins, commissioned the world famous naval architect George Lennox Watson to design a luxurious steam yacht for fast transatlantic cruising and elegant display at the most fashionable resorts on both sides of the Atlantic. For twelve years the owner and numerous guests cruised year-round to fashionable resorts on both sides of the Atlantic, around the Mediterranean and down through the Caribbean islands until, in 1909, Varuna was wrecked at Achada da Cruz on the northern tip of Madeira. This book reveals some of the stories behind the owner, the design and construction of Varuna at Pointhouse shipyard in Glasgow, Scotland, her crew and the voyages she made over those twelve years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Morley Stokes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1468005448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781468005448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.00w x 0.10d","brand":"Robert Morley Stokes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985660412159,"sku":"9781468005448","price":5.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4846cca-4477-4d0f-b959-62c5826a2225.jpg?v=1683278818","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/steam-yacht-varuna-robert-morley-stokes-9781468005448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
