Re the JEZEBEL, thanks PHa for your additional info on this wonderful vessel. Thanks and regards.

@ Emmanuel & Clive: Thanks for your kind confirmation. On portside she has nine bulleyes (beginning from the bow) and then three bulleyes a little deeper in the hull and this matched with your photo. Yes, i am sure too: She is the Krupp-Germania-yacht "REVELER" from 1930. German Marine hitech-shipbuilding had (and has still) plenty to do with the development of hitech-yachts in that time after ww I. Krupp-Germania was the "innovation center" of german shipbuilding in the 20s and 30s. Thanks for your comments. Regards Peter

Yes PHa ,she looks as she is the same vessel, even though se surely had some changes in the upperworks. she looked great at that time and also in the photo I posted ,but in the twin funnel arrangement ,she lacks that more graceful look, mind you that is my humble opinion. Best regards.

Yes, that is the same yacht.

I am not quite shure, but i have this photo file of a Krupp Germania yacht from 1930 in my archive. Maybe she was the "JEZEBEL" ex "REVELER" in her original look. Photo is from the Richters-family: http://fs1.directupload.net/images/150723/2il5yk7f.jpg
Comments appriciated. Regards Peter

I fervently second that comment Denis.regards

So elegant

I must concur with your opinion Kyle ,The JEZEBEL with just one funnel was much better looking, the funnels are a bit too large for her. Regards.

Yes Clive, the JEZEBEL is a classic 85 year old yacht ,hope she will continue sailing on to her 100th. year. regards.

Interesting to see an older picture of this classic. She looked much better with just the one, smaller funnel in my opinion, the current layout is just too much.
Kind Regards,
Kyle

So interesting to see this yacht as Jezebel. There seem to be so few pictures of her before her transformation into Talitha G. I saw her, when she was still named Jezebel, laid up in Lisbon in October 1987.
