Notes historiques
George Schneider (Email to Nauticapedia 30/09/2022) stated "A sad relic nearby is the yacht CREOLE (229656). This vessel was built by the Lake Washington Shipyard at Houghton WA in 1930 as the KURU for Stewart White of San Francisco. This vessel served in WWII as the Navy YP 102, then returned to the name KURU, later COLONIAL and now CREOLE. This vessel is out of documentation and shows no evidence of a state license number. This vessel was in beautiful shape when I first saw her in 2009, but now this vesse appears to be completely neglected by her owners. "
