<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Fern77, post: 4405305, member: 16131&quot;]Excellent link, Fid. According to this, it could have been Lionel&#039;s&nbsp; <i>Rhodora</i> (I or II) . No connection with Scarborough, though.</p><p>According to this site <a href="https://www.le2fp.co.uk/rhodora-ii-home" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.le2fp.co.uk/rhodora-ii-home" rel="nofollow">https://www.le2fp.co.uk/rhodora-ii-home</a> Rhodora II was requisitioned for the war effort and sank in 1940. This other site has some more details of the ship</p><p>&nbsp; <a href="https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/archive-library/ships/rhodora-1929" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/archive-library/ships/rhodora-1929" rel="nofollow">https://hec.lrfoundation.org.uk/archive-library/ships/rhodora-1929</a>&nbsp; .</p><p>One could wonder whether its furnishings had not been disposed of when requisitioned.</p><p>As to the other British Rothschilds, any and all of them might have had boats. Lots of ground (or water in this case) to cover yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:</p><p>On a separate note, accoriding to this article in the NYT,&nbsp; &quot;Lionel de Rothschild, whom Brown names &quot;the chief rhododendronophile&quot; of the 20th century. At Exbury, the Hampshire estate where he moved in 1922, Rothschild, a playboy who endearingly named his yachts Rhodora 1 and 2, employed 60 gardeners and 15 greenhousemen.&quot; So if looking for a particular design, well, how&#039;s rhododendrons?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
