Construction started in early 1929. The yacht was designed and constructed in compliance with the Lloyds Register technical standards. Launched in June 1930 this yacht undertook sea trials over the following months. She was delivered to her owners in October 1930.
Exterior Design
Talitha, with her 82.6 meters overall length inclusive of her bowsprit, stands as a testament to the splendor of the 1920s. Her exterior design is the product of a refined and elegant era, combining both modernity and timeless classic appeal. Her long overhangs, sleek lines, and a 10.37-meter beam hark back to the golden age of shipbuilding, yet her structure and functionality are of a modern yacht.
Talitha's exterior also features a well-sheltered deck with an enviable sunbathing area fitted within the stern's fantail. The boat deck saloon opens through wide doors to a delightful outdoor space with a superb dining table, a spa surrounded by sunbathing cushions, and teak sun loungers. Outside the deck, there are bays for the yacht's classic Hackercraft and Chris Craft tenders.
Talitha features a clipper bow design that is both functional and visually striking. The deck is crafted from high-quality teak, providing durability and a classic aesthetic. The hull and superstructure are painted in a clean, crisp white, contributing to a cohesive and elegant appearance. The boot top and the area below the waterline are finished in a contrasting black, adding a touch of sophistication to the vessel’s overall look
Interior Design
Materials used throughout the yacht include rich myrtle, mahogany, and oak veneers, highlighted with ebony surrounds and inlays. Deckheads and panelled walls are predominantly painted white, which offers a clean and bright contrast to the darker tones of the doors and built-in furniture. The bathrooms feature luxurious marble, sourced from Italian suppliers and installed by the Bristol Marble Company, adding a touch of refined elegance to the spaces.
The main saloon is a central feature of the interior, providing a comfortable and inviting area for relaxation and socializing. It is furnished with an eclectic mix of pieces, many of which are custom-built and draw heavily on the designs of Edwin Lutyens. The saloon also maintains period-specific touches, such as the gas-fired equivalents of the original coal-burning grates, ensuring safety while preserving historical ambiance.
The library, situated amidships on the main deck, serves as a quiet retreat for reading and contemplation. The dining saloon, located in the fore part of the superstructure, offers a traditional setting for meals, with furniture designs that reflect the beginnings of the art deco movement.
Daylight pours into the boat deck saloon and card room through oval-headed bronze skylights, salvaged from a London bank, which adds a charming ambiance to these areas. This blend of period character and modern amenities ensures that Talitha's interior spaces are both functional and true to their historical roots.
