My Mom and Dad made lampshades for the Truman Presidential Yacht. Mrs. Truman (Bess) picked out my Mother’s unique ‘Dogwood’ pattern for the shades.

FDRs yacht in white paint? You must be kidding. The Potomac was build as coast guard cutter/subchaser. It was converted into a yacht. Having seen it overtake us, at speed, her lines were like a budget version of a four piper speeding by.
Plenty of reasons not to like FDR, but the Potomac is a fine Yacht. And a more seaworthy design than the Jobs disaster.
