Enquirer Yacht Sale to Government and Value Shrinkage
Washington June 4 A Navy memorandum details the Enquirer yacht purchase and later sale to the War Department. Initial inspection declined Buffalo inspection due to small 16 ton capacity with a $100000 asking price. Navy officials revised views, noting the boat was in good shape and speedy. Admiral Erben proposed $50000 if upgraded with gear and coal capacity, accepted, and the Enquirer entered Navy possession. Secretary Long calls the price a war price but fair. Subsequent appraisal to War Department set $20000, reflecting heavy wear and removal of valuable machinery and gear, including dynamos, boats, anchors, chains.
