High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! USS Aide De Camp (IX-224) a wooden-hulled motor yacht designed by B. T. Dobson was built in 1922 at Neponset, Massachusetts., by the George Lawley & Sons Corporation for the noted yarn manufacturer, Samuel Agar Salvage, whom she served as Colleen. Among the foremost of the bevy of other owners who luxuriated in the comforts of this lavishly appointed vessel was the once and future governor of New Hampshire, John Gilbert Winant, whom President Roosevelt would send to England as the wartime United States Ambassador to the Court of St. James's. When he took possession of the yacht from Karl W. Erikon of New York City in late 1926, or early 1927, he renamed her Ranger. About a year later, H. M. Pierce of Red Lion, Del., owned the ship and renamed her Poinsettia. In 1931, the Boston financier, Frederick Henry Prince, purchased the yacht and dubbed her Aide De Camp, a name which she bore under her next owners, in turn, Frank D. Comerford and Harvard University.
