For history buffs, nautical or otherwise, here’s a fun story. Turns out a British gentleman bought one of the three tenders to Hitler’s 377-foot Nazi state yacht, Aviso Grille, but it’s missing its binnacle compass. He’d love to get it back to restore the 36-foot launch to its original condition. The Aviso Grille was built in 1934 at Blohm + Voss, had a crew of 248 officers and men, a top speed of 26 knots and, dialed back, a range of 9,500 nm. Hitler enjoyed it.
