Ready For World Cruise - The 96-foot brigantine "Yankee", shown while under full sail, will leave this fishing port Sunday (Nov. 2) in command of Captain Irving Johnson for a leisurely cruise of the globe. The vessel was a former North Sea pilot boat, seized as a war prize by the British. Captain Irving has made three previous world cruises in a similar pilot boat. October 31, 1947.
