Default Yacht Ituna


I am interested to know if anyone can supply any information on the 36ft.
yacht "Ituna of Dublin".

She has had a very colourful life since her launch in the Clyde, Scotland in
1912. She has crossed the Atlantic at least three times. The first on a
madcap trip with four College students of architecture from Dublin, Ireland
who had been invited to a year's study with Frank Lloyd Wright in 1949. They
decided that this would be the cheapest way to go to school in New York.

She has gone through various reincarnations in her long career and a friend
of mine sailed her from Greece to South Africa in 1974.

His information was that she was last seen for sale in Annapolis in 1980.
Does anyone know what has become of her since?
