Wonderful piece of history recovered from a flea market. I am guaranteeing this to be one hundred percent authentic. Plate measures 14 3/8'' wide X 6 5/8''. Made of chrome plated bronze and weighing 5 lbs. I researched it on the Bath Iron Works Site to find it checked out with all the information they had on the site. The overall condition is good showing some wear and scratches. is one of the sites had to say. This is not a knock off its the real thing and they only made one. On one of the oter Bath Iron sites it gives the number 124 that this plate corresponds to. It is guaranteed. Please email me with any questions about this historical piece of history. I DO NOT TAKE PAYPAL. I DO TAKE PERSONNEL CHECKS AND MONEY ORDERS. THANK YOU Launching of the yacht CORSAIR (IV) at Bath Iron Works, 1930

Description

The steel-hulled, turbo-electric-powered CORSAIR was the fourth yacht by that name owned by J. P. Morgan and his family.
CORSAIR (IV) was built by Bath Iron Works at Bath, Maine, and was the largest yacht ever built in the U.S. She measured 2,142 gross tons, register length 300 feet, length over all 343 feet.
Morgan used her for ten years, mostly on the East Coast and in the West Indies. She was given to the British Royal Navy during World War II, and afterwards was a luxury cruise ship on the West Coast until being wrecked near Acapulco in 1949.
