I'm trying to research the history of my great grandfathers yacht, the Sea Bee. The picture is dated 1917 by my grandmother. The Sea Bee is pictured in Belmont Harbor in front of their home at 3314 N. Lake Shore Drive. My great grandfather, C.B. Smith, was chairman of the Stewart Warner Corp of Chicago. I believe he sold the Sea Bee in the early 1930's as his fortunes waned. I think its a Great Lakes Boat Building / Grebe yacht but not positive. Any thoughts? How big would you say she is....or how many staterooms?
Whoa, I suspect ole coal steamer. Sweet pic. My grandfather used to work these in N Y. Clean whites dress in the morning, black by evening. Good luck on your research.
Thanks! I actually have a couple pics to post, one of the 6 man crew that lived aboard I assume? I know he shipped it from Chicago to Miami Beach in the winters so I suppose they went with.
