Owning a piece of American maritime history places you in an elite class of yacht owners, and now is your chance to join this exclusive club. The 1930 47' ACF LIBERTE offers a rare opportunity to possess a classic American-built yacht from the early 1900s, a period when such vessels were reserved for the wealthy. ACF, or American Car & Foundry, was established in New Jersey in 1899 and expanded into yacht building through its acquisition of a shipyard in Wilmington, Delaware. This shipyard not only made rail cars but also crafted minesweepers and luxury yachts. Originally commissioned by Boston tycoon Griswald J. Hayward in 1929, the yacht has undergone several name changes and owners, reflecting its storied past. After extensive restoration under its current custodian, LIBERTE now boasts a robust mahogany hull reinforced with C-Flex, making it resilient against the wear typical of wooden boats. With numerous awards from classic boat shows in the Southern States, LIBERTE is truly a head-turner—a stunning vessel reminiscent of the Gatsby era and one of the last remaining ACF 47' cruisers. Due to health concerns, her custodian has made the tough decision to sell her. LIBERTE is currently housed in Madisonville, Louisiana, available for private viewings and video walkthroughs, along with a comprehensive photo album featuring over 450 images. This remarkable yacht is ready for a new owner to continue its legacy of elegant cruising.
