Haida, Col. Fleischmann's New Schooner 
Col. Max C. Fleischmann’s new auxiliary 
schooner yacht Haida, designed by Messrs. Cox 
& Stevens, of this city, was launched on Thurs¬ 
day, April 2, at the yard of her builders, the 
Gas Engine & Power Co., of Morris Heights, 
N. Y. Col. and Mrs. Fleischmann will use this 
vessel extensively this summer in cruising along 
the coast, and in the winter will take her down 
to Southern waters where they will explore the 
various rivers and sounds along the coast and 
also run out to the West Indies. Haida is the 
second vessel of this name that has been owned 
1 y Col. Fleischmann, the first Haida being a 
deep sea-going steam auxiliary now called 
Columbine. The present Haida is 105ft. long, 
has 25ft. beam and only draws 5ft. of water 
with her board up. She has a good sized 
schooner rig of 5,614 square feet of sail, and 
for auxiliary power has a 200 horsepower Speed 
way engine so that she will be able to make 
good time under sail or power. Her gasolene 
tank holds enough to go 1,000 miles under

power. She was designed particularly for 
Southern work and unusual attention has been 
paid to ventilation and comfort in the quarters 
below, as.the many skylights on deck show. 
The construction of Haida is very solid and 
strong throughout, the idea being to produce a 
safe, dry and comfortable cruising, hunting and 
fishing boat rather than a light flimsy racer. 
The frames are of oak doubled, the planking 
yellow pine, the deck beams, sheer strake, deck 
stringers and struts are of steel. 
The accommodation plans show comfortable 
quarters for a vessel of this size. The saloon 
is large and fitted with extension table, side¬ 
board, sofa, etc. The owner’s room and bath 
are aft of the saloon, two guests’ rooms and 
bath alongside the centerboard trunk. The crew 
consists of captain, engineer, four sailors, cook 
and steward. The quarters are lighted by elec¬ 
tricity and heated by hot water. All the deck 
openings are screened to keep out mosquitoes 
and flies. The finish in the quarters will be 
generally Colonial, white with mahogany furni¬ 
ture with the exception of the owner's room 
which will be finished entirely in silver wood. 
All the upholstery is to be extremely rich in 
effect, and every possible comfort to be had on 
a vessel this size will be had. Her boat equip¬ 
ment consists of a fast 20ft. motdr launch, a 
cutter and a dinghy. Her sail area is divided 
as follows:
