The USS Sequoia, designed in 1925 by John Trumpy, has been an elegant presidential yacht, offering luxury and a retreat for various U.S. presidents since 1931.
Herbert Hoover, the first president to use the Sequoia, faced criticism for using an image of the luxurious yacht on his 1932 Christmas card amid widespread poverty.
Presidents have tailored the Sequoia to their needs, with FDR installing an elevator and legendary adjustments allowing him and Churchill to enjoy drinks during WWII.
With ample guest accommodations, the Sequoia has served as an ideal gathering place for family and diplomatic discussions, showcasing adaptability across administrations.
