Consolidated Shipbuilding (Charles L. Seabury & Co.) "SPEEDWAY" Commuter Yacht

BLUE MIST was constructed in 1917 on the banks of the Harlem River in Morris Heights, NY by the Charles L. Seabury Co., a prominent yacht builder, and the Gas Engine & Power Co. Her original hull number is 2553 and she was better known in those years as a "Speedway"!  After a merger of these builders a few years later, these boats were known as "Consolidated Yachts".

BLUE MIST is a completely, and professionally, restored commuter yacht with all of the creature comforts found aboard the modern cruising vessel. All of her systems and structure have been modernized, and during her 95 years of service she has been tasked with many jobs, from a private family yacht, U.S. Coast Guard patrol boat, Yacht Club tender to her most recent duty as the West / Rhode Riverkeeper evening cruise vessel for contributors.

The exterior design elements, pilothouse and salon are basically all original. The forward cabin has been redesigned to make the accommodations comfortable for a live aboard couple. The boat is complete with modern amenities like refrigeration, reverse cycle air conditioning, generator, hot water and shower. Her hull was professionally reconstructed and sheathed in fiberglass in 1983 by Hartge Yacht Yard and finished in White with Awlgip for ease of maintenance. Since that time she has been kept in a covered slip on the West River in Galesville Maryland. This offering represents a very unusual opportunity to acquire a true "classic" which has been modernized and can be cruised with ease and will be the center of attention in any harbor, marina or Yacht Club!

BLUE MIST is highly recommended for the classic yacht enthusiast looking to own a piece of American ship building history!
