On Core Creek Saturday, MV Innisfail., southbound. She’s a 1939 Mathis-Trumpy motor yacht. Upon launch, Innisfail was commandeered for WW2 shore-patrol duty by the US Navy. Her deck had cannons, her stern a depth-charge rack. After the war Innisfail became a presidential yacht, used by presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy. She was sold to a private owner in 1965. Now, the 91 ft vessel plys the ICW, leaving happy eyes along the way. (click pic for more views)
