Sea Cloud saga spans marriages and seas from Hutton to Trujillo
In a vivid history, Marjorie Merriweather Post marries EF Hutton in 1920, builds the Hussar V later Sea Cloud, and travels with him. After divorcing Hutton in 1935 she marries diplomat Joseph Davies, aiding wartime missions and collecting Russian treasures. The ship later serves as a weather vessel in WWII, then passes to Trujillo for a turboprop, ending a turbulent era in 1955.
