Footnotes
The steam yacht Yarta was designed by A.H. Brown and built by Steward & Latham on the Thames at Millwall in 1889. Owned by Captain Arthur Wiggins, she was registered at 165 tons gross (106 net & 242 Thames) and measured 134 feet in length with a 20 foot beam. A smart little craft engined by Plenty & Son of Newbury, her name was subsequently changed to Hiarta despite still being owned by Captain Wiggins, a most unusual occurrence normally associated with a change of ownership.
