The Royal Thames Yacht Club yawl Chanticleer in the Mediterranean; and The Chanticleer in stormy conditions

Registered at 122 tons gross and measuring 84½ feet in length with an 18½ foot beam, the yawl Chanticleer was designed and built by J.S. White at Cowes in 1874. Never staying long with any of her several owners, she was successively renamed Xarifa, Hermia and West Wind before reverting to her original name when bought by Mrs. G.H. Brown in 1904. Sold again in 1912, this time to Baron Woldemar Mahs of Odessa who renamed her Nadir, she disappears from record after 1914, presumably a casualty of war or the Russian Revolution.
