    Looks rather small for a transatlantic vessel from that time. Beam can't be more than eight or ten feet. Given the sailing mast, they didn't have complete confidence in the powerplant I guess.

    possibly related to this story The Oregon Wolf, a nine-cylinder hydroplane, in a sanctioned race here yesterday broke the world's motor boat record on a five-mile course for all distances up to thirty miles. The Oregon Wolf's time for the thirty miles was 42 minutes 14 2-5 seconds. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9805E0D6173CE6...
