5 THE SEVEN LIVES OF THE FAMED Sea Cloud

Luxurious family yacht, floating diplomatic palace, war vessel in the service of the U.S. Navy –

the vita of the Sea Cloud is more fascinating to read than many novels. In 1931, the Wall Street broker Edward Francis Hutton had the legendary windjammer built in Kiel calling her “Hussar”. But it was his wife, the extravagant Marjorie Merriweather Post, who gave the tall ship her distinctive character. She furnished the “Hussar” – at that time the largest private yacht in the world – with a sure sense of style and lovingly chosen antiques. At least nine months of the year, the Huttons spent at sea and headed for the most exotic destinations.

Close to the equator, the sun is almost vertical in the sky and shines straight down on the water, heating the air above the ocean’s surface.

At around 30° north and 30° south, the masses of air have cooled to such an extent that they sink again and return to the equator in the form of steady westerly winds, known as the trade winds. This is what carries our two windjammers across the Atlantic with constant force.
