McMillen Yachts Inc. was founded in 1992 by Earl McMillen III to restore and maintain classic yachts. In 1995 McMillen pioneered the concept of fractional yacht ownership in an effort to allow other people, with a similar interest and less available time, the opportunity to participate in the same mission. To date, McMillen Yachts has restored dozens of significant yachts and in the process has built the finest collection of classic American yachts in the world. Today, with their office and full service boatyard facility in Newport, RI, McMillen Yachts offers year round use of the yachts in the “fractionally owned” fleet anywhere along the coast of the eastern United States. During the summer months, the fleet bases out of Newport and cruises between New York and Maine. In the Spring and Fall, the yachts cruise the east coast, primarily in the Chesapeake Bay and Georgia/South Carolina low country; and in the winter months they are based in south Florida and cruise both coasts, including the Florida Keys and Bahamas.

Trumpy Yachts: A Historical Perspective

Trumpy Yachts, (401) 846-0303 [email protected]

The Trumpy shipbuilding legacy began five generations ago in the coastal city of Bergen, Norway, where Casper Trumpy owned a shipyard nestled at the foot of The Seven Mountains. Casper’s son John grew up working in the family shipyard, and returned to do so again after earning a naval architecture degree in Berlin, Germany. When Casper Trumpy passed away, John sold the business to the Bergen Gas Company, and with little left in Bergen, moved to America. After working at the New York Shipyard in Philadelphia, and the commercial John H. Mathis Shipyard in Camden, New Jersey, he formed a partnership with John H. Mathis, leasing space within the yard solely dedicated to the design and build of private yachts.

John Trumpy Sr.’s intuitive designs answered the demands of an increasingly wealthy class of Americans, who by the turn of the century had begun to accrue wealth on a par with European royalty. Trumpy perceived that unlike the Europeans, who tended to prefer long voyages on cumbersome yachts with elaborate interiors, the American market favoured fast commuter yachts. The new yachtsman wanted to go from his estate on Long Island Sound to his Manhattan office on Wall Street as crew members served up breakfast. In winter the Captain might navigate the yacht to the shallow Florida canal system or abundant fishing grounds of The Keys. A summer cruise in style around the Great Lakes also provided a fashionable pastime. Trumpy’s narrow beam and shallow draft design favored speed with no great sacrifice to posh interiors, and met the requirements of America’s aristocracy perfectly. By the 1920s his graceful architectural style was ubiquitous, defined by a plumb bow emblazoned with signature “T” scrollwork, vertical Pullman windows and a counter stern with canvas awnings. Trumpy was enjoying a full order book year after year.

During this period Trumpy produced many of the fastest, largest and most famous American yachts, solidifying the company’s reputation among the elite. The 77-ft. Lady Baltimore, constructed in 1915 for the Hall-Seely Motor Company, was purchased in 1920 by E.F. Hutton, who refitted the yacht with a pair of eight-cylinder Sterling engines to achieve a remarkable 21 knots.

The 104-ft, Sequoia II, built in 1925 for Richard Cadwalader, Jr., became the US Presidential Yacht in 1933, entertaining Presidents from Roosevelt to Carter. Richard Nixon hosted Leonid Brezhnev on Sequoia, and Queen Elizabeth went aboard her in 1968 to visit LBJ. As part of an austerity campaign when he assumed the presidency, Jimmy Carter ordered the Sequoia be sold. It went for less than $300,000 and remained in a state of disrepair until The Presidential Yacht Trust purchased and restored her. She is now designated as a National Historic Landmark. Recently, Trumpy Yachts has entered into a cross-marketing agreement with the current Sequoia ownership group.

Among these storied yachts the Trumpy Shipyard built only two steel hulls, the 148-ft. Alamo and 110-ft. Arminia. The Alamo had several owners before being acquired by the US Navy, renamed Alabaster, and designated PYc 21. A similar fate befell Arminia, named after the wife of owner William Atterbury. He enjoyed Arminia from her launch in 1930 until 1934, when the yacht was sold and renamed Stella Polaris. In 1940 Stella Polaris became Patrol Yacht coastal #4 (PYc 4) Agate.

Although there are many famous Trumpys and aficionados with stories to tell, the most candid come from Johan Trumpy, grandson of John Trumpy Sr. An affable man with a remarkable memory of family history and yacht construction, he describes the wartime company transition: “When WWII intensified, John Mathis needed to take over the whole John H. Mathis Company facility to build boats for the government, so the Mathis Yacht building Company relocated to Gloucester, New Jersey, outside of Camden, and they changed the name to John Trumpy & Sons. By doing so it ensured that there was no confusion about who was where.”

It would seem that by 1940 John Trumpy Sr. was legally the sole owner of the Mathis Yacht Company, as John Mathis died in 1939 and a second partner, William Robinson, died in 1940. But Johan Trumpy relies on company records. According to the stockholder accounts, in about 1920 John Mathis suddenly disappears from the books and it seems that John Trumpy Sr. had sole control of the company at this earlier date. Yet the Mathis name remained ubiquitous. Even into the late 1950s, Johan Trumpy recalls, “Our adverts and letterhead said formally Mathis Yacht Company. Trumpy and Mathis were the same company, but we called them Trumpy yachts, and they called them Mathis yachts.”

Trumpy was also finding time to build government contract boats prior to the war, having designed several models, including a speedy Coast Guard boat used during Prohibition. During the war, government contracts increased and the workforce expanded rapidly from about 60 workers to more than 500. By the end of the war, Trumpy’s entire production was given over to building military craft. But when the war ended, Trumpy turned his attention back to the design and production of private yachts. The first build was Aurora, a 55-ft. pilot model built on spec by John Trumpy & Sons to get the company back into the civilian market. Firmly back in business, the yard was turning out about six new yachts a year, each bearing the distinctive Trumpy scroll on the bow.

By 1947 industrial waste that had been carelessly dumped into the Delaware River had so polluted the waters that a yacht could not navigate along its course without potential damage, forcing Trumpy to look for another yard. The Annapolis Yacht Yard in Maryland had gone broke as a result of rapid inflation, exacerbated by the death of one of its owners, and was forced to shut down. John Trumpy bought the property and moved his entire operation there. It was here that John Trumpy & Sons would build wooden yachts for the next 27 years, all launched down the slipway into the Severn River.

During the post-war years, Trumpy yachts between 55 and 80 feet became exceedingly popular with many well-known, well-to-do Americans. For example, Henry Sears commissioned a 48-ft. cruiser called Megaera, and Gilbert Verney, owner of the Monadnock Paper Mills in New Hampshire, had the 58-ft. Katuna built in 1970. One of the last boats built at the Annapolis yard was Sinbad, for Fred Gordon, Jr.

Trumpy’s sterling reputation had much to do with the high quality of materials, meticulous craftsmanship and the best construction methods of the time. The frames were of steam-bent oak, and the hulls were double-planked mahogany fastened with bronze screws.Vinyl, the new wonder material of the 1940s and ‘50s, was used to upholster seating and cushions. Stainless steel was replaced by Formica, a cutting-edge post-war material used extensively to provide maintenance-free surfaces. The yachts were also equipped with the latest in electronic and power systems – items considered normal now, but years ahead of the competition then.

Johan Trumpy started working at the yard during this innovative post-war era. At 13 years of age he began to spend his summers in the boat shop on the bulkhead table with Frank Wagner, steam-bending frames and cutting off the through-bolts. While still a teenager he had worked his way into the drawing room. He remembers that frequently his grandfather would come up behind him, stare at his drawing and say, “I don’t think I’d do it that way,” and then abruptly walk away. By the early 1960s, John Trumpy Sr. had stopped driving, but continued to work every day. Then on a seemingly ordinary day in 1963, as he was putting his socks on to go to work, he had a fatal heart attack.

In 1972, though buyers for new Trumpy yachts were still knocking on the company doors, John Trumpy Jr. decided to sell the land. Many people, including family members, were distressed when he permanently closed up shop in December of 1973. Contract no. 450, the 60-ft. Sirius, was the third Trumpy yacht owned by Henry Gibson of Palm Beach and the last to be launched into the Severn River by John Trumpy & Sons.

Mathis Yacht Building

Camden and gloucester city nj.

Most recent update: November 14, 2018.

Mathis Yacht Building Company was a spin-off from John H. Mathis Company, operating in an adjacent facility at Cooper Point in Camden, just upstream of the Ben Franklin Bridge. When WWII came, the yacht building operation moved from Cooper Point to Gloucester City, where it was acquired by John Trumpy (who had been its driving force for many years) and renamed John Trumpy & Sons. After the war Trumpy relocated again, to Annapolis MD.

I got the following connection of John H. Mathis to the Great John from history guru Paul Schopp. I haven't checked it out myself, but I trust Paul's research skills. Pete S Pete: The linage for John H. Mathis is as follows: John Herbert Mathis, son of John Shourds Mathis, son of Josephus Chalkley Mathis, son of Stacy Mathis, son of Maja Mathis, son of Eli Mathis Sr., son of the Great John Mathis. So, the short answer is, "Yes," we can trace John Herbert Mathis back to the Mathis family of Bass River and Little Egg Harbor Township. If you require additional information, please let me know. Best regards, Paul W. Schopp

Fantastic. Thank you so much. Dick LeGates

Great use of multiple sources! That's what makes a History Guru. Pete S

Josephus, John S., John H. Mathis all in ship building business. Josephus Mathis had a son John Shroud Mathis who married Ida Henderson (my ancestor). They had a son John Herbert Mathis. The company was originally called Morris & Mathis Shipbuilders. After John S. Mathis passed away in 1900 the company was renamed John H. Mathis & Co. and it operated jointly with the new Mathis Yacht Building Co. under the leadership of William W. Robinson (35 years). By 1910 J. W. Trumpy was on board and he managed the yacht "houseboat" operation. By 1920 John H. Mathis was an oil broker like his Uncle Frank C. Henderson (Ida's brother).

How “herrintown” got its name by the herrintown poet (july, 1998).

A little silver fish we have to blame

For how our town got its name.

We’ve heard of towns from East to West

With names that seem to suit them best.

Bean Town - Big Apple - The Windy City

Now most folk think that’s pretty witty

To name a town for a thing unique

But to name a town for a fish? That’s cheek!

Wondering how it came to be?

Come back to long-ago with me.

When the bay and river produced the wealth

And added to the people’s health.

Long ago in a different clime

We can watch the scenes flash through our mind.

Up in the north in the cold and deep

Off Nova Scotia ’s rocky reef.

In the days of March when the wind is raw,

When the ice in the river begins to thaw

Something stirs within their heart,

And like their fathers before- off they start.

They take the long and ancient trail

Every season without fail.

This silver fish with streamline frame.

It never gained the sport man’s fame.

Cared not a wit about its fate.

Called it worthless, call it bait.

But how could they know of a time and place

And this lowly fish in the watery trace?

How could they know of the native here,

About the folk that counted this fish so dear?

They packed the fish in a barrel of brine.

Kept it in the cellar til winter time.

When breakfast came at early morn,

Wood stove burning to keep them warm.

Smoke from chimneys hangs over town

And smell of pancakes turning brown.

Salt fish poached and served up hot

With plenty gravy poured on top.

Think it strange fare as well you may

But this was the start of the bayman’s day

Let’s turn back now to a scene in the bay

The wind picked up since break of day

Nor-wester’s blowing cold and clear

A sail in the river is drawing near.

The boatman leans out over the side

Shouts “Let ‘em know far and wide.

The shoal of fish came through the bight.”

To him it was an old familiar sight.

The silver sides flashing in the sun.

The multitudes in the migration run.

It was Sunday morn this day in the Spring.

The Presbyterians were gathered and had started to sing.

The lad that was spreading the news all around

Had turned the corner and headed up Allentown .

He knew the baymen, all but a few

Would be there in church in their usual pew

He pushed on the door. It flew open wide.

“Boys you better put churching aside.”

He shouted so loud his voice in a quiver.

“Hurry up boys...

‘HERRIN’ UP RIVER!”

The meeting broke up to the preacher’s dismay

How could a fish lure them away?

I’ll leave you with your thoughts on this.

Here in the town that was named for a fish.

Extensively restored, the 1939 Mathis-Trumpy Innisfail is priced at $2.95 million

A slice of U.S. naval and presidential history will be on view among the yachts at the Palm Beach International Boat Show, priced by Bartram and Brakenhoff at $2.95 million.

Innisfail, a restored 1939 Mathis-Trumpy motor yacht, was designed by John Trumpy and handcrafted by the Mathis Yacht Building Co., a favored manufacturer of yachts for society’s elite, including the Dodges, DuPonts and Guggenheims.

Shortly after her launch, she and other luxury yachts were commandeered for World War II shore-patrol duty by the U.S. Navy, which refitted her deck with cannons and her stern with a depth-charge rack, according to a website devoted to the vessel, YachtInnisfail.com, which details much of the history in this story.

After patrolling the East Cost, the yacht was decommissioned in 1947. She was restored and remained in government service as a presidential yacht used by presidents Truman, Eisenhower and Kennedy before being sold to a private owner in 1965. In later years, however, the yacht — which can accommodate up to 60 guests — hosted presidents Nixon, Ford and Clinton.

Over the years, the yacht served as a charter vessel in Chicago and in Fort Lauderdale, where she was known as El Presidente, said Joe Bartram, who became a broker at Bartram and Brekenhoff after selling the company he founded.

The yacht today belongs to a Charleston, S.C., owner who bought her five years ago, undertook her restoration and recently decided to sell her, Bartram said. Over the past several months, the yacht has been spiffed up for her appearance in West Palm Beach, Bartram said.

“The owner really wanted to get her in shape for the show,” he said. “She’s been primped.”

Innisfail will be docked at Bartram and Brekenhoff’s display on Ramp D in slips D101-D104 and D104A.

At the age of 106, Argo is the oldest surviving Trumpy in the world.

“I want her acknowledged because she was the beginning of super yachts,” Mr. Williamson tells The Waterway Guide in an interview. “It was the first time people tried to make a boat home-like, but not a houseboat. They wanted it snazzy.”

Built in 1911 for one of America's richest industrialists, Arthur Curtiss James, Argo represents the genesis of the modern motor/superyacht. However, while tracing the yacht’s pedigree has been completed with a minimum amount of difficulty, Williamson says that navigating the system has been, “like going up the hill with a big rock.”

“I’ve been at this process for about a year with my fiancée, Tall Ship Captain Denise Meagher, leading the process,” he says. “Everything is documented. Unfortunately, the official with the National Historic Register who would normally be handling the case retired just before we sent in our stuff and it seems like they may be left without someone who is an expert.”

Calls to the National Historic Registry in Albany for comment were not returned by press time.

He explained that, even with a boat and not a location like a house, it’s a two-part process. First you apply for a National Historic Place and then you can apply for a Landmark status.

The boat was built under what was originally known as the John H. Mathis & Company, a shipbuilding company founded around 1900, based at Cooper Point in Camden, New Jersey , U.S , on the Delaware River .

Initially, the John H. Mathis Company built a variety of commercial and naval vessels, including freighters, ferries and fishing boats, FS ("Freight and Supply") ships for the Army, minesweepers, net tenders, patrol boats, lighthouse tenders, tugs and barges.

However, in 1910 Norwegian-born naval architect John Trumpy joined the company in partnership with John H. Mathis, to design and build private yachts.

The Mathis Yacht Building Company built houseboats, tenders and yachts for some of the wealthiest American families, including the Sequoia in 1925, which would later serve as the Presidential yacht between 1933 and 1977.

John Trumpy later became sole owner of the Mathis Yacht Building Company in 1939.

Argo was designed by Mathis and John Trumpy Sr. and built in 1911 by the Mathis Company, whose list of clients included: John Wayne, Josephine Baker, Howard Hughes and members of the DuPont, Dodge, and Chrysler families.

Trumpy’s most noteworthy creation was the presidential yacht USS Sequoia, which served nine U.S. presidents from Herbert Hoover to Jimmy Carter.

Originally named The Lanai by railroad magnate Arthur Curtiss James, the vessel was eventually sold to a New York lawyer who changed the name to Argo.

The Argo was built in an era of fine wooden ships. It is an impressive 80 feet long, with a 16-foot-8-inch beam and a three-foot draft.

No expense was spared to provide the yacht's owner and guests with the finest amenities available.

The spacious and well-appointed owner's quarters, reached through an open stairway from the deck house above, were elegantly finished in solid mahogany wood paneling and white and ivory enamel.

Its 18-foot main salon extended the full width of the yacht and led to three staterooms, each fitted with lower and upper Pullman berths, a bureau, full-length wardrobe and a sink.

In the 30's the yacht changed hands to inventor/industrialist Powell Crosley Jr. of radio, television, and automobile fame who gave her a complete refit.

“Crosley even went and built a 32 room mansion and entire marina on the Gulf Coast of Florida to tie her up,” says Williamson. “There are so many stories to tell about the Argo. I’m doing this to get her recognized.”

By the time Powel Crosley acquired Argo in 1932, the ship needed extensive repairs and modernization. The bottom was replaced and new diesel engines were installed.

The Crosleys maintained an opulent lifestyle and used the Argo to entertain friends and prominent guests, such as Robert Ringling; Cmdr. Eugene MacDonald, who was the head of Zenith radio; and Charles W. Deeds, vice president of Pratt & Whitney. Accompanying the guests were the yacht's captain, engineer and at least one steward. After the death of Powel Crosley's wife in 1939, Crosley paid less attention to his Florida homestead and by 1940 the Argo had changed hands again.

Today, Williamson, the former night manager of New York City's legendary Studio 54 disco, has lived aboard Argo in New York Harbor as often as possible, since 1990.

“Back in the day I chartered a lot,” he adds. “I still do it, but only for very special occasions.”

His clientele has included celebrities such as: Paul and Linda McCartney, Meg Ryan, Tom Hanks, the Henry Clay Frick family, Walter Cronkite, Carolyn Bisset and John F. Kennedy, Jr., Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Elle McPherson, Russell Simmons, Charles Gibson, Geraldo Rivera, Dan Rather, Marisa Tomei, Christina Ricci and Woody Allen.

The Argo has also been featured in movies, on TV's "Law & Order" and "Good Morning America," as well as in fashion shoots for Vogue and Bazaar.

It's been seen in fashion shoots for Vogue, Bazaar and Hamptons Magazine, on TV in Law and Order, 48 Hours, Third Watch, ABC News Tonight and Good Morning, America and in film in You've Got Mail and Wasp.

While he loves New York, Williamson says he is thinking about moving Argo because, “the biggest problem with being docked in New York harbor right now is the escalation of ferries and being constantly bombarded with wakes which cause stress fractures in an antique wooden boat.”

“For now I’m just focused on completing the process of getting the landmark status for Argo,” he says. “I’m open to suggestions from anyone who knows how to put a fire under the people up in Albany.”

Anyone interested in assisting Williamson to navigate these governmental waters can email him at [email protected] .

“I just do not want to fail in this quest,” he says wryly. “I do not want to be the guy who screwed up Argo after all those big cats who had her before me. I have no problem taking suggestions at this point.”

The History of Yacht Timeless

The History of John Trumpy & Sons

John Trumpy worked as a yacht designer for the Mathis Yacht Building Company in Camden, NJ starting in 1910. During World War II, Trumpy acquired Mathias and the company was renamed John Trumpy & Sons. Following WW II, the Trumpy operations & yacht yard moved to Annapolis, Maryland where they continued in operation until the early 1970’s. Over 400 Trumpy yachts were designed and built during the 60-year history, including the Presidential Yacht Sequoia , of which about 90 still exist today.

She was commissioned by George Codington, President of General Motors Diesel Engine Division and member of the Annapolis, New York and Larchmont Yacht Clubs. The original name of the Yacht was Seaplay, build contract 328. Later names in order were Natamor II, Seaway, Beau Rivage, SS Sophie in 1998 and BB in 2017. She was renamed Timeless in 2021.

Sea Play was Mr. Codington's second Trumpy yacht, having commissioned All Alone in 1930 . He had credentials as a Director of Shipbuilders Council of America, Member of Society of American Naval Architects and American Society of Naval Engineers

Complete Refit

From 2017 till 2020 her hull was rebuilt along with many of her systems. She has been restored to her original grandeur.

In 2022 the decks were replaced, new cabinetry installed, electrical wiring replaced and upgraded, new bow thruster and new AC/heat system. The wood was stripped and many coats of new varnish completed. Wood work shows new luster.

In 2023 new twin John Deere engines were installed and the 1959 Detroit Diesel 671 were removed. Timeless is quieter and fuel efficient and reliable.

Timeless has had many improvements. The 1959 Detriot Diesels were removed and twin John Deere engines with new transmissions were installed. The boat is lighter, faster and fuel effiencent.

Mathis Yacht Building, Camden and Gloucester City, NJ

Mathis Yacht Building Company was a spin-off from John H. Mathis Company, operating in an adjacent facility at Cooper Point in Camden, just upstream of the Ben Franklin Bridge. When WWII came, the yachtbuilding operation moved from Cooper Point to Gloucester City, where it was acquired by John Trumpy (who had been its driving force for many years) and renamed John Trumpy & Sons. After the war Trumpy relocated again, to Annapolis MD. If anyone can add to the table below, please e-mail [email protected] .
