The North Star stands proudly against a picturesque backdrop, exuding elegance and power. Its grandeur is evident in every detail - from its sleek design to the billowing sails that catch the wind with grace. This masterpiece of engineering was undoubtedly a symbol of wealth and status for its owner, Cornelius Vanderbilt. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when steam yachts were considered the epitome of sophistication and leisure.
