USS Argus (PY-14) - Return To Yacht Service

Return To Yacht Service

The ship was sold in late 1946 and renamed Sarina. Owners included Egyptian cotton magnate Maurice Ada, American industrialist Larry Green, British Member of Parliament Loel Guinness, and film producer Robert Stigwood.

The Sarina was renamed Rosenkavalier in 1981 by a Greek owner, possibly Stanley Steeger; sold again to the Isaka family of Yokohama in 1988, and returned to Greek ownership in 1992.

In 1999 a new owner refurbished and renamed her Haida G. The Haida G has been restored to her original condition, including a refit of the original main engines and is still in commercial service.

    I’ve given parties that have made Indian rajahs green with envy. I’ve had prima donnas break $10,000 engagements to come to my smallest dinners. When you were still playing button back in Ohio, I entertained on a cruising trip that was so much fun that I had to sink my yacht to make my guests go home.

    The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.
