Built in 1926 by Mathis Yacht Building in Camden, New Jersey, this American icon was restored in 2009 McMillen Yachts in Portsmouth after years of neglect had left the vessel in bad shape. Freedom is a near sistership to the presidential yacht Sequoia that was built for President Hoover of the United States and which served another seven presidents after him.Photo by SuperYacht Times
