At the time of her construction, she was the largest private yacht in the world, it subsequently served as a weather ship for the United States Coast Guard and United States Navy during World War II. Following the war, Sea Cloud was returned to private ownership, serving as a yacht for numerous people, including as presidential yacht of the Dominican Republic. The ship currently sails in Europe and the Caribbean often under contract to the National Geographic Society. The Sea Cloud is currently the world's oldest ocean going passenger ship.
