Presidential Yacht USS Sequoia
The USS Sequoia had been officially designated a "National Historic Site." The 104 foot length yacht was built by the Trumpy Yard in 1925. Used by a succession of American presidents from Hoover to Carter, she still has the original furnishings from her tradition of entertaining politcal figures from around the world.

treaty with the Soviet Union and later deciding to resign,
