One of the moat prized of the Boldt fleet of vessels was the very elegant 102 foot yacht Louise and was a combination steam and sailing yacht which was designed and built by the Herreshoff Manufacturing Company at Bristol, Rhode Island in 1893. Construction was wood. Her specifications were as follows: net 24 tons, gross tons, 49; over all length, 102 feet; waterline length, 84 feet. Her beam was 14 feet; depth 8 feet 2 inches; draft 4 feet 4 inches. Her power plant was a 3 cylinder triple expansion steam engine, 5 and 5/8 inch, 9 and 14 by 9 which was also built at the Herreshoff plant. On each side of the boiler were coal bunkers. Above the engine room was a skylight. There were 18 portholes in all, 9 on each side of the vessel. Legend has it that it was on board the Louise that the Thousand Island Dressing was created. It is believed that it was George C. Boldt, of the famous Boldt Castle that named it "Thousand Island Dressing." His steward created the dressing while sailing on the St. Lawrence River one afternoon. George C. Boldt was the proprietor of the world famous Waldorf and Astoria hotels in New York City, and the owner and proprietor of the equally world famous Bellevue and Stratford hotels in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where the dressing would gain world wide popularity. It was George C. Boldt tug boat Queen that proved to be the work horse of the fleet. Built in Buffalo, New York in 1897, Boldt purchased the Queen from its builder for $4,900.00 on November 22, 1900. The Queen was used for towing scows of stone from Oak Island to Heart Island for the building of Boldt Castle. Barge after barge of, Perfect Paperback, Edition: First Edition, Label: Linda M.
