| In her original design, Kensington
had a wheelhouse with a raked front, a design feature that did not become popular in yacht
design until the early 1930s. All the windows in the wheelhouse were double-hung
with lead window weights. This house lent an almost military appearance to the vessel, not
a particularly winsome profile for a motor yacht. At the aft end was a covered open
cockpit. Above is a line drawing of Kensington from one of J. Murray
Watts' catalogs of ship designs. (Independence Seaport Museum collection, Philadelphia) |
