About ACANIA
Originally commissioned in 1929 for Al Capone, the steel-hulled ACANIA has belonged to the Walgreen family and was commandeered for WWII duty by the US Navy. Designed by John H. Wells and built in 1930 at the New York ship builders, Consolidated Shipbuilding Corporation, she was fitted out as a high-end luxury motor yacht representative of the golden age of the “Roaring Twenties”. Her accommodations include four staterooms, a sitting room, sun decks, a ‘hideaway’ bar, a formal dining room with supporting galleys, and quarters for a full crew.
