ANTONIO DE SIMONE (ITALIAN, 1851-C.1907) The Royal Yacht Squadron's steam yacht 'Fedora' Signed and dated 'De Simone 1907' (lower right) and inscribed 'S.Y. FEDORA' (lower left) Gouache 16½ x 25in. (42 x 63.5cm.) Designed and built in Glasgow by D. & W. Henderson in 1881, Fedora began life as the quaintly named Cushie Doo. Rigged as a screw schooner, she was registered at 250 tons gross (159 net and 358 Thames) and measured 145 feet in length with a 24-foot beam. Her original owner, Mr. W.H.S. Osmand, kept her for over ten years, but in 1894 she was purchased by the 5th Marquis of Waterford, who renamed her Fedora, which she retained until 1913, when she was converted to a cargo ship and was wrecked under the name Luis off Punta del Cavernone, near Santona, on the 5th October, 1929. Mount has gone off, otherwise in good condition commensurate with age.
