The good sized luxury yacht DUC D' ORLEANS is a motor yacht. This 34 metre (112 ft) luxury yacht was manufactured at Mac-Craft in 1944.
The Duc D’Orleans was built in the early 1940’s. After WWII, it was rebuilt as a cruise vessel at Quebec City and spent many years there until the late 1970’s. It was then brought to Sarnia, its original home. Mac-Craft in Sarnia was contracted to construct eight of these which were Q62, Q63, Q101, Q102, Q103, Q104, Q105, Q115. The Duc-D’Orleans was Q105. They were well-built vessels of mahogany and oak, with the bottoms sheathed with “muntz” metal, which is a combination of copper and zinc. They had twin gasoline engines. The fairmiles reportedly never saw any active service, and none were lost during the war. They were very well-built vessels and many of them survive to this day, mostly as private yachts or cruise ships.
