The steel motor yacht Princess was designed and built for Sir James Knott, Bart., by the Furness Shipbuilding Co. at Haverton Hill-on-Tees in 1924. Registered at 730 tons gross (282 net and 751 Thames), she measured 186 feet in length with a 30 foot beam and was powered by two 8-cylinder engines by Sulzer Bros. of Winterthur. Sold to Lord Kemsley in 1936, Princess was hired for wartime duties as an anti-submarine patrol craft in September 1939 but was sunk in the Bristol Channel on 11th January 1940 following a collision.
