She started life with the suitably Jazz Age name of MV Reveler, soon passing into the hands of Charles McCann of the F. W. Woolworth retail firm (and renamed Chalena). She served as gunboat in World War II as USS Beaumont, with armaments mounted fore and aft, providing a rare Krupp contribution the Allied effort. After the war she went back to private use as Elpital, until music and film producer and all-round empresario Robert Stigwood bought her and renamed her Jezebel. J. Paul Getty bought her in 1988 and had her restored at Devonport under Jon Bannenberg’s guidance in 1993 (he added the second funnel to winning effect), and she has been immaculately maintained since. The yacht is still owned by the Getty family and is used for family holidays.
