The
owner's grand stateroom featured a built-in three-quarters
bed with drawers under it, a Pullman bed, two dressing
tables with drawers and mirrors, and a cheval mirror
in the bathroom door. The owner's tub and washbowl, piped
for hot and cold fresh or salt water, were located above
the waterline in order to drain easily overboard. All
rooms, including one for children, were well ventilated
and lighted by both natural and electrical light. Mahogany
trim, carpet, plate glass, and tile were used liberally
throughout the vessel.

Refinement
was not limited to the living quarters.
Paneled in mahogany, the roomy deckhouse
contained a large davenport, card table,
and movable chairs. Green carpeting,
upholstery, and Pullman shades accented
the white mahogany finish, while two
15-inch ports and seven large plate
glass windows provided ample lighting
and panoramic views.

The
state-of-the-art galley also featured novel amenities.
The area was enclosed with steel bulkheads, to prevent
the spread of a potential fire, and equipped with metal
dish racks and lockers. Fresh or seawater could be pumped
into the sink, and the range, fitted with a hot water
tank, sat on top a metal coal box. Ice could be delivered
directly to the vessel's built-in icebox via a watertight
scuttle in the upper deck. Finally, for convenience
and safety, the yacht was equipped with a 16-foot Luders
motor launch and a 14-foot tender.
