The Non-Magnetic Yacht Carnegie 



Designed by H. J. Gielow and built by Tebo Yacht Basin 

 Company of New Yorl< in 1909, the Carnegie was the first 

 specifically constructed non-magnetic vessel in which every 

 effort was made to avoid the use of steel. She was also the first 

 sea-going vessel equipped with a producer gas engine. Her 

 mission was mapping out the magnetic forces as they prevail 

 over the oceans. She was active in this role until her tragic loss in 

 1929 at Apia, Samoa from a gasoline explosion.
